Prime Minister Mark Carney is striking a dramatically different tone toward the United States, telling an audience in New York that “Canada Strong will help make America great again.” But is this a genuine shift in strategy, or a response to mounting economic and political pressure?

On this episode of Straight Up, host Marc Patrone is joined by communications and political strategist Georgeanne Burke to break down Carney’s remarks, the state of Canada-U.S. relations, and what could be behind the Prime Minister’s sudden change in messaging.

Burke discusses the growing concerns surrounding Canada’s economy as the country officially enters a recession, questioning whether Carney’s government mishandled relations with America at a critical time ahead of USMCA negotiations.

The conversation also explores rising tensions between Canada and the United States over trade, energy, and security, including whether Ottawa’s approach to China and its net-zero policies have damaged trust with the Trump administration.

Plus, Marc and Georgeanne examine the broader political fallout facing Carney at home, from national unity concerns in Alberta and Quebec to growing skepticism over his economic leadership.
