LILLEY: Trump’s trade war could cost Canada jobs for decades
History shows that tariffs, bans and conflict can reshape trade patterns for generations, and Canada shouldn't assume it's immune.
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Canada in December, according to Carney, who said the two countries are making significant progress on a new trade agreement. The bilateral tensions have eased recently following the 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh activist who pushed for a separate state of Khalistan, in Vancouver.
Canada's former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blamed India for the assassination, a claim India rejected. Both nations expelled diplomats in 2024. Carney, who took Trudeau's place last year, has been advocating for a reconciliation, asserting that Canada requires access to the vast Indian market to diversify its trade ties and lessen its reliance on the US.
Speaking at the UN, Carney disclosed that Modi and he aim to finalize a new trade deal in mid-December. He expressed his anticipation of hosting Modi and emphasized their strong relationship across various dimensions.
