Canadian people support Carney's refusal of US trade terms, and Carney faces difficulties in restarting negotiations
The Canadian people support Carney's decision to abandon the agreement with the United States and take countermeasures. The Carney government is caught in a dilemma due to domestic opposition to compromise, making it difficult to restart negotiations. Carney stated that the US demands for steel, aluminum, automobile tariffs, and amendments to Canadian cultural laws are unacceptable, and US officials have made it clear that President Trump will not grant tariff exemptions. Andrew McDougall, an assistant professor at the University of Toronto, believes that Carney's public support stems from his rational behavior, which contrasts with Canadians' views of President Trump.
