ELI10:
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is pushing Prime Minister Mark Carney to take a tougher stance against the United States in ongoing trade talks, especially as new US tariffs are about to kick in. Poilievre argues Carney has given in too much, citing previous concessions on taxes and tariffs. The government, however, says it's working with provinces for the best deal. Separately, there are reports Canada might make some concessions, like on alcohol sales, to avoid tariffs. Meanwhile, a man was arrested for threatening Carney, and a Quebec environmental group is criticizing Carney's environmental policies. Canadians are watching to see if a fair trade deal can be reached without giving up too much, especially on key areas like dairy.
