Carney says getting best possible deal with U.S. more important than Aug. 1 deadline
HUNTSVILLE, ONTARIO, CANADA - Prime Minister Mark Carney downplayed the importance of a looming Aug. 1 deadline in trade talks with the U.S. on Tuesday, saying the objective is to get the best possible deal for Canadians. 'They're complex negotiations and we'll use all the time that's necessary,' he told reporters after meeting with premiers at the Council of the Federation gathering in Huntsville, Ont. Carney said the government will agree to a deal 'if there's one on the table that is in the best interests of Canadians.' He described such a deal as one 'that preserves, reinforces and stabilizes' the trade relationship between Canada and the U.S., and 'also one that doesn't tie our hands in terms of other things that we can do.' Carney was invited to join the premiers in Ontario's cottage country this week as they gathered to discuss eliminating internal trade barriers and U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to impose 35 per cent tariffs on a wide variety of Canadian goods on Aug. 1. Carney told premiers that Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc will be in Washington, D.C., this week and said the federal government is 'only going to accept the best deal for Canada.' He also said the government is working to bring long-standing trade issues involving softwood lumber into the broader negotiations, if possible. At a press conference after the meeting on Tuesday afternoon, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said that while he'd like to see a deal that eliminates tariffs altogether, 'we're not in that world right now' with Trump imposing levies on trade partners around the globe. 'We just have to be open-minded about what that might look like,' he said. Carney said Tuesday's gathering offered a chance for the premiers to focus on ways to build a stronger economy. The Liberal government has passed legislation granting cabinet the power to fast-track major projects it deems to be in the national interest, and is set to open its major projects office by Labour Day. Premiers have submitted their pitches for projects they'd like to see fast-tracked, but Carney has said the government has not yet started assembling a list of projects. Houston said he hopes the projects office will be able to provide some clarity on that by the fall. 'We need you to work together to propose ideas and have consensus on the projects that you want to move forward,' Carney told the premiers at the start of the meeting, adding that continuous engagement with Indigenous Peoples is a key part of that effort. The premiers met with First Nations, Métis and Inuit leaders on Monday. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he believes Carney is close to signing off on a few major projects. He has put forward a list of five major projects he'd like to see built; his top priority is mining in the Ring of Fire region in northwestern Ontario, which is said to be replete with critical minerals. Ford came out of the meeting saying he believes Canada will strike a good deal with the U.S. 'We're standing behind the prime minister to make sure that he has a fair and free trade deal for Canada and every single province and territory, and I'm very confident that's going to happen,' he said. At the start of the meeting with Carney, Ford said he personally still wants Canada to match Trump's tariffs 'dollar for dollar, and hit him back as hard as we possibly can,' adding strength is the only thing this president understands. He also said the federal government needs to be ready to support industries hit hard by the trade war, and Canada needs to onshore production of things like aluminum cans and steel beams to avoid tariffs. 'We need to send them a strong message. We don't have to take a back seat to anyone in the world, and we sure the heck don't have to take a back seat to President Trump,' he said. Ford, who chairs the Council of the Federation, praised Carney for being a 'brilliant businessman' and said it's refreshing for premiers to work with a prime minister who 'has our backs.' Carney commended the premiers on the series of trade agreements they've signed to open up access to internal Canadian markets. On Tuesday morning, Ford joined the premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan in announcing a new memorandum of understanding calling for the construction of new pipelines using Ontario steel. The agreement also calls for new rail lines to be built to help ship critical minerals from yet-to-be approved mines in the Ring of Fire to Western Canada. Ford called the agreement a 'game changer' that focuses on shipping Western oil to refineries in southern Ontario and a new deep sea port in James Bay. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she's heard from Carney that he wants to make Canada an energy superpower, and she wants him to drop 'nine bad laws' she said are hurting the country's business investment climate. B.C. Premier David Eby was not invited to sign the agreement and said he didn't know the details of the deal. He was asked Tuesday whether his government is open to supporting the construction of an oil pipeline from Alberta to B.C.'s northern coast — something which it has vocally opposed in the past. 'There's no project, there's no proponent, there's no private sector money involved that I'm aware of,' he said. 'When Premier Smith crosses those obvious hurdles to get a project done, then let's have those conversations.' — Written by Liam Casey in Huntsville, Ont., and Sarah Ritchie in Ottawa This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 22, 2025.

Premiers now huddling with former ambassadors to the U.S. David MacNaughton and Gary Doer.
Now that Prime Minister Mark Carney has concluded his meeting with the premiers, the Council of the Federation conference is officially under way. The premiers are huddling with former Canadian ambassadors to the U.S. David MacNaughton and Gary Doer. They are advising the premiers on strategies for coping with the Trump tariffs and for keeping relations positive with state governors, almost all of whom, Republican and Democrat, oppose the levies that are making things more expensive for American consumers. The United States Chamber of Commerce, the world's largest business organization, has long opposed tariffs on Canadian goods for that very reason.
