Leeds Grenville Thousand Islands Rideau Lakes MP Michael Barrett says Canadians should care about the country's relationship with US.
Prime Minister Mark Carney made headlines this week with a blunt remark about his last conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump.
When asked about the discussion, Carney responded, “Who cares?”
The comment reflected a dismissive attitude toward the need for direct dialogue amid ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the United States.
The remark comes after strained relations following the abrupt end of trade talks sparked by a controversial anti-tariff advertisement in Ontario.
Michael Barrett, MP for LGTIRL, stressed the importance of Canada’s relationship with the U.S.
He explained how it is affecting local businesses and employment.
He explained that we should care about the relationship with the U.S. and what Canada needs to do.
When asked about the east-to-west pipeline proposal, MP Barrett said it is extremely important.
He explained he is all for this pipeline.
Canada is now focusing on domestic economic growth and partnerships with European allies as it faces trade and economic challenges.
