Prime Minister Mark Carney set to host meeting with Canada’s premiers Friday


By Canadian Press on March 18, 2025.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is hosting a meeting with Canada’s premiers on Friday.

The prime minister’s office and the office of Ontario Premier Doug Ford confirmed details of the meeting.

It comes as Carney is widely expected to call an election within just days or weeks.

He was in Iqaluit Tuesday in a bid to reassert Canada’s sovereignty in the Arctic.

That was the final stop on a whirlwind trip to France and the U.K., where he pushed for closer trade and security ties with Europe.

Carney is just days into the job after winning the Liberal leadership in a landslide on March 9.

Canada cannot afford another Liberal government . . . ask the Brits if Carney was the great saviour to their issues . . . he was not!
Are country is facing a devastating trade because of the poor governance of the Liberal/NDP alliance and we may lose the Arctic from this lack of leadership!
I never thought I would ever, ever consider this, but if the Liberals do win this years election, Alberta should withdraw from confederation since it is a continual BOHICA with the Liberals who sent a clear message by not putting any Cabinet members in place from Alberta!
We are facing a debt wall and we cannot defend our own country because of the Liberals. Many of our allies will not defend us from Trump, for fear of a backlash and others were offended by Trudeau who flew around insulting world leaders as our country fell apart!
When Quebec kept threatening to rip apart Canada, I always stated that we needed them in Confederation, but now . . . We have spent 10 years of being raped by Ottawa, with more abuse in the foreseen future!
Maybe Smith is right!
