Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is not yet in a position to finalize a trade agreement with the Trump administration, despite intensified discussions between Ottawa and Washington.

Speaking on Parliament Hill Wednesday, Carney emphasized that Canada will pursue an agreement only if it serves Canadians' interests.

“We will pursue” a deal if the right opportunity arises, Carney said, but negotiators are “not in that position right now.”

The comments come just days before the U.S. midterm elections, with tariffs and the cost of living remaining major political issues.

💬 YOUR TAKE: Should Canada hold out for better trade terms, even if negotiations take longer?

Your Thoughts? DINNER INVITATION, BUT NO SPEECH: CARNEY AND QUEBEC PREMIER CLASH OVER EU SUMMIT

A political dispute is unfolding between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon ahead of the Canada–European Union summit in Montreal on October 29–30.

Carney's position: The Quebec premier was invited to dinner with European representatives but declined. Carney says the empty chair is his decision.

Quebec's position: St-Pierre Plamondon argues that Quebec is being denied a meaningful voice at a summit discussing economic matters that could affect the province.

Ottawa's response: Industry Minister Mélanie Joly maintains that international relations fall under federal jurisdiction.

The bigger disagreement: Quebec says it should have a more substantial role in discussions affecting its economy, while Ottawa maintains that the summit is between Canada and the European Union.

The disagreement comes as Canada seeks to deepen economic and strategic ties with Europe.

YOUR TAKE: Should Quebec's premier have a speaking role at an international summit hosted in Montreal, or should Ottawa speak on behalf of Canada?

Your Thoughts? David Eby called an early election, arguing British Columbia needed a stronger mandate to stand up to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and economic threats. Just 32 days later, the political landscape has changed dramatically.

The B.C. Conservatives have won a majority government under Lorne Doerkson. David Eby has announced his resignation as premier and NDP leader.

Eby's campaign initially emphasized the threat from Trump but later shifted its focus toward affordability and other provincial concerns. The Conservatives reunited under new leadership, while questions grew about why an election was needed two years ahead of schedule.

Was Trump's trade war the wrong issue to build an election campaign around? Or were affordability, dissatisfaction with the NDP and the snap election itself more important factors?

What do you think made the biggest difference in B.C.'s election?

B.C. POLITICAL SHAKEUP: Conservatives set to Win Historic Majority, David Eby Steps Down

British Columbia is heading for a major political change as the B.C. Conservatives are projected to form their first majority government since 1928, ending the NDP's time in power.

Here’s what happened:

Lorne Doerkson is set to become B.C.'s next premier after the Conservative victory. “B.C. is definitely blue,” he declared in his victory speech.

David Eby resigns: The NDP leader called an early election seeking a stronger mandate, but the gamble ended in defeat. Eby announced his resignation as premier and party leader.

Green Party breakthrough: Leader Emily Lowan is projected to win her first seat in the B.C. legislature.

Other party leaders defeated: The leaders of OneBC and CentreBC are both projected to lose their seats.

A historic election night in British Columbia, with major changes ahead for the province's political leadership.

What do you think this election result means for British Columbia's future?

Tariff relief for some Canadian exports. New 50% duties for others.

Starting October 30, the Trump administration will remove tariffs on selected Canadian products while adding others, including shampoos, cocoa powder and vinyl flooring. The changes offer relief to some businesses while creating new challenges for others.

Is this progress toward a trade deal, or more uncertainty for Canadian workers and businesses?

A lighter moment during a serious announcement. 🇨🇦😄

As Doug Ford and Mark Carney announced Canada–Ontario support for industries affected by U.S. tariffs, Ford’s comment about loving Quebecers brought a smile from the prime minister.

Your Thoughts? U.S. embassy in Canada released a list of quotes from Canadian politicians that it claims indicate "plans to influence American politics."

The U.S. embassy accused Canadian politicians of signalling plans to influence American politics, citing comments about Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs.
Mark Carney and Doug Ford dispute the suggestion, saying their priority is protecting Canadian workers, businesses and the economy.

Where should the line be drawn between legitimate trade pressure and election interference?

Your Thoughts? Danielle Smith has a message for UCP members still pursuing separation: the party’s future is within Canada.

Following Monday’s referendum, Smith says those determined to turn the UCP into an independence movement should find another party. She says the focus must now be winning the next election.

Is this the leadership needed to unite the party—or should there still be room for separatist views within the UCP?

Alberta chose Canada. Now comes the work of moving forward.

Mark Carney welcomed Monday’s referendum outcome as “a great result for Canada” and says he spoke with Danielle Smith about co-operation, including immigration.

Smith also welcomed the unity result and plans to outline her next steps in a televised address tonight.

What should Ottawa and Alberta prioritize now to turn the unity vote into lasting progress?

10/20/2026

Voters strongly backed remaining in Canada, a position Premier Danielle Smith also supported. But after months of debate, attention now turns to her leadership and how she addresses divisions within the province.

Does the result strengthen her position, or create new political challenges? Tell us why.
