Mintz, Jan. 24

Neither Justin Trudeau, Chrystia Freeland nor Mark Carney can be trusted to navigate Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian exports, particularly if their responses include a ban or export tariff on oil and gas resources. Having blocked any attempt to diversify foreign markets for Canadian oil and gas, despite entreaties from our other friends and allies to do so, and having stymied attempts to build new pipelines to reach those markets, Trudeau and Freeland have no moral authority to use our oil and gas industry as a pawn in responding to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Readers speak out on Canada-U.S. trade disputes, the Liberal leadership race, the CBC, citizenship laws and more{ai:summary}Justin Trudeau, Chrystia Freeland, and Mark Carney are criticized for their handling of Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs on exports. Their failure to diversify foreign markets and build new pipelines undermines their credibility in using the oil and gas sector as leverage against President Trump's tariffs. The article argues that their past actions disqualify them from effectively negotiating on this issue, as they lack the moral authority to manipulate the oil and gas industry in retaliation. #politics
