In today’s Canadian politics news update, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s strategic trade partnerships have defied all economic expectations, shifting Canada’s economy and trade dynamics more than anyone once thought possible. Now, with the European Union reportedly in talks to join the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement that includes Canada, PM Carney is proving his point. When the world’s middle powers come together, democratic nations are not doomed in the wake of the American empire. And Canada’s economy certainly is not doomed in the wake CUSMA, as some Canadian politicians want you to believe.
