While Carney rushes to bring Canada closer to Asia to stop depending so much on the United States, Canadians are closely following the story of Justin Trudeau, the main culprit of Trump’s anger with that country, in the middle of his romance with Katy Perry.
Mexico City, October 28 (However).– The Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carneyleft for Asia on a week-long tour while at home they face an increasingly discouraging economic outlook. “Factories were closing and jobs were lost. inflation rose slightly and there were signs that the country was heading towards a recession”says this day The New York Times.
Things got complicated after the premier of Ontario, Doug Fordwith how tense everything is, provoked the anger of the President Donald Trump with a television advertisement in which the former president appeared Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs. Trump promised to impose even more taxes on Canada. And now, when relations with USA They are at one of their lowest points, Carney is under pressure to prove that he has a plan to ward off Canada of its deep-rooted economic dependence on its neighbor, and has turned to Asia.
At the same time, Canadians are closely following the story of Justin Trudeau, the main culprit of Trump’s anger with Canada, in the middle of his romance with Katy Perry. “The former Prime Minister and the pop star recently made their first public appearance as a couple, after months of speculation about the nature of their relationship. Neither Perry nor Trudeau have yet spoken publicly about the matter,” he says. CBCa Canadian chain.
For context, earlier this year, Perry and her longtime fiancé, actor Orlando Bloom, announced their separation after seven years. They have a daughter together.

Carney, who has inherited the Trudeau disaster, has set the ambitious goal of doubling Canadian exports to other countries within a decade. Expanding trade with Asia is fundamental to its strategy. But things won’t be so easy. The United States is Canada’s largest trading partner and the ravages of that turbulent relationship are barely being felt.
An example. The Globe and Mail tells today about Harvinder Reehal and thousands of his co-workers, faced with a harsh reality: They may never return to their jobs. For almost two years, the Canadian newspaper adds, Reehal and three thousand other auto workers have been temporarily laid off from the Stellantis assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario. The factory was idled in December 2023 to re-equip for electric vehicle production. Only 340 workers were needed for the renovation.
“Then, on Oct. 14, Stellantis dealt a new blow to its Brampton workers: The vehicle they were supposed to assemble — the Jeep Compass electric SUV — will be built in Illinois. The automaker has offered few details about the plant’s future, according to the union representing Brampton workers. But Canada’s business landscape has changed so dramatically in recent months that many believe their days of working in an auto plant are over for good. Auto workers have suffered a “They were told that the transition to electric vehicles would revitalize their sector, but automakers have backed off on those plans. Earlier this year, the trade war broke out with Donald Trump attacking the Canadian industry, convinced that tariffs on Canadian-made vehicles would revive American assembly lines,” he details.

And “to some extent, Mr. Trump is getting what he wants.”
Stellantis’ move to Illinois is part of a $13 billion plan to increase production in the United States and mitigate the impact of tariffs that have already cost the company billions. Stellantis has announced that it plans to increase American production by 50 percent over the next four years, creating more than five thousand jobs in the heart of American manufacturing: Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. Last week, General Motors suspended production of the Chevrolet BrightDrop electric delivery van in Ingersoll, Ontario, resulting in the loss of 1,150 jobs. The company plans to cut one shift at its Oshawa plant in January.
Many workers are planning for a future without cars, says The Globe and Mail.
“But that comes with its own risks. Carney said he planned to meet this week in South Korea with China’s top leader, hoping to reset a strained relationship, end a trade dispute and restore closer ties. Canada has had very tense relations with China due to, among other things, findings of Chinese interference in the Canadian election. And, further complicating Carney’s intended turn, the Trump Administration could be unhappy with his overtures toward China, even as the U.S. president is also scheduled to meet. with China’s top leader, Xi Jinping, this week,” he explains. The New York Times.
The Wall Street Journal Today, the trade war is accelerating plans to expand Canada’s largest container port. Carney is accelerating the expansion of the Port of Montreal as he seeks to increase trade outside the United States. Port officials say the new container handling terminal will cost about C$1.6 billion, the equivalent of $1.15 billion, and is crucial to strengthening Canada’s foreign trade.
“Carney selected Montreal as one of five projects of national importance, in addition to a liquefied natural gas plant, a nuclear energy project and two copper mines, which will be processed expeditiously by the newly created Major Projects Office. Port of Montreal officials say the designation will speed up regulatory approvals and financing,” the newspaper adds.
The United States accounts for approximately 80 percent of Canadian exports. More than half of Canadian exporters expect tariffs to hurt their businesses, according to a recent survey by Canada’s national statistics office. Nearly a quarter of these companies said they plan to look for customers outside the United States. Eastern Canada’s three busiest container ports are well positioned to capture more transatlantic business, especially with free trade partners like the European Union.
Canada is really in trouble.
