Canada ‘at War’ With U.S. After Trade Talks Collapse, Carney Says

I’m going to go through why we’re walking away from a bad deal and what comes next. You’re at war when you get attacked. We got attacked. We’ve been under no illusions. We recognized from the start that America has changed. We recognize that sometimes its signature was written in pencil. The gap between partnership and competitor unfortunately has remained too wide in recent days. Let me be clear. We take this step reluctantly. Reluctantly, because we recognize that some of these measures will raise costs. Last spring, I warned that America is trying to break us so they can own us. And I promise that will never, ever happen. We are keeping that promise.
