Randall Denley: Cheerleading for Mark Carney isn’t a sound economic plan, Premier Ford

Ontario Premier Ford is seeking an alternative plan for the province's economy. According to the National Post, Ford is looking for a plan that doesn't involve buying new jobs, spending billions subsidizing old jobs, or relying on the prime minister to put Ontario first.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has been exploring closer ties with the European Union. The EU had suggested making Canada its first associate member, a proposal Carney welcomed, according to the Hindustan Times. Carney stated that Europe and Canada are stronger together and that Canada wants deeper cooperation on issues such as artificial intelligence, defence, and energy.

Carney's pursuit of a closer relationship with the EU comes amid escalating tensions between Canada and the US over tariffs. US President Donald Trump responded to the EU's proposal by calling it "laughable" and threatening to impose tariffs or stop trading with Europe, as reported by the Hindustan Times.
