Opinion: Carney’s ‘maple MAGA’ moment rings hollow

In late May, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had a “maple MAGA” moment. Speaking before the Economic Club of New York, Carney claimed that “Canada Strong will help make America great again,” combining his own political slogan with U.S. President Donald Trump’s.

Painting Canada as a reliable supplier of energy and critical minerals and as a partner in an integrated North American auto market, he noted that “the examples are legion where we should work together and compete with the world together.”
