- •Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that dealing with the United States is currently 'nothing normal' amidst questions about his handling of relations with President Donald Trump.
- •Carney's recent speech at the World Economic Forum, which described a 'rupture' in the rules-based international order, received rare cross-party praise in Canada but angered Trump.
- •Opposition leader Yves-Francois Blanchet criticized Carney, arguing that speeches don't create jobs and questioned the normalcy of US negotiations given ongoing tariffs.
