Canadian Prime Minister Carney: "The relationship Canada had with the United States is over"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. "Nous somme maitres chez nous." My transcript, video is in English. But watch the video for the character of the man

The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation {pause} is over. Exactly what the United States does next is not clear.

What is clear is that we as Canadians have agency, we have power. We are masters in our own home. Nous somme maitres chez nous. We can control our destiny.

We can give ourselves much more than any foreign government including the United States can ever take away. We can deal with this crisis best by building our strength right here at home.

It will take hard work. It will take steady and focused, determination from government, from businesses, from labour, from Canadians.

We will will need to dramatically reduce our reliance on the United States. We will need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere and we will need to do do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven't seen in generations.
