Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
Canada's Prime Minsiter ... Mark Carney ... has a better training and background than most Prime Ministers ever. Others may not agree with me ... but so far, I believe my view on this is holding up!
Originally from the UK, I have lived in the United States since the late 1960s. When I migrated to the United States my income tripled relative to the UK. Over time that differential has diminished significantly in many job categories ... but it still exists, especially in several important techology sectors.
For a time I was a 'landed immigrant' in Canada which provided me with an interesting way of getting working opportunities in the United States.
My experience with the US immigration authorities has been good, but I am well aware that this is not everyone's experience. When I went through the US immigration process I had everything going for me ... British, well educated, young, white, good level job offer, speak English, and so on. Not to mention support from high level corporate people and elected officials at the national level! I am well aware that I am unusual ... but the immigration system of the USA has been seriously problematic for many decades, and the political will to fix the system is completely lacking!
While Trump is likely to do huge damage to the United States before he leaves office ... much of the rebuilding that will be needed may prove an opportuntiy to address a multitude of issues that have been ignored for decades. Sadly that might be too much to hope for!
The speed that the United States is losing friends and allies is 'scary' and in my mind perfectly understandable. The US still has a lot of underlying stength ... but no country is going to put up with the Trump behavior if there is a near alternative. For several decades after WWII ended, there were few viable alternatives ... but alternatives have been emerging faster and faster in the last two or three decades .... and that will change everything!
The United States has many critical shortages, including essential rare earth minerals ... as well as and especially brains and high-level technical competence!

- Mark Carney just sent a clear message to
- Donald Trump and to Washington. Canada
- will never again depend on the United
- States. Speaking at the 2025 Progress
- Summit in London alongside UK Prime
- Minister Kier Starmer and Australian
- Prime Minister Anthony Albani. Carney
- warned that the old world order is over.
- He unveiled his vision, Canada strong,
- and declared, 'Nostalgia is not a
- strategy.' Tonight, we break down
- Carney's remarks, his warning about US
- dependence, and what this rupture in the
- global system means for Canada's future.
- This is fantastic to be at this
- gathering. Um, so maybe I'll I'll frame
- it a bit uh this way, which is uh our
- election and and what Canadians were
- feeling uh like in many electors but in
- a slightly different way is a sense of
- loss of control. Um that's what happens
- when inflation is too high and uh that's
- what happens when there is a sense that
- 1:03
- migration isn't being uh uh adequately
- managed. Um, it's also what happened and
- the most sharp version of this was of
- course the tariff uh relationship with
- the United States uh when all of a
- sudden our largest trading partner was
- was fundamentally changing the
- relationship.
- Carney opened by describing what
- Canadians felt during the last election.
- A sense of lost control. Inflation was
- high. Migration was mismanaged. And
- worst of all, the US suddenly turned
- against us with tariffs. This, Carney
- said, was the sharpest example of
- vulnerability.
- For decades, Canada relied on
- Washington. But when Trump's tariffs
- hit, the reality was clear. One decision
- in the White House could destabilize
- millions of Canadian livelihoods.
- Carney's response, fight back. He made
- one of the strongest reactions in
- 2:00
- Canadian history, taking the tariff
- revenue and pouring it back into
- Canadian workers, jobs, and retraining.
- The message was clear. Canada will not
- be bullied.
- So, our election and our policy was was
- first and foremost, it was fight the
- tariffs. Um, you know, have a reaction.
- We had one of the strongest reactions,
- protect protect our workers. Um, so
- there were many ways we were doing that,
- but one of the things is we were taking
- all of the tariff revenue, uh, putting
- it back into workers, helping, uh,
- workers retain their jobs, but also
- retrain, protect our communities, um,
- against crime. But the core, pardon me,
- the core message was build. Um, pardon
- me, uh, and it was to build and build in
- a positive way. You need a positive
- agenda and it matters how we build. And
- I'll just leave you with a couple of
- core messages that ground our approach
- in the election but very much in
- governing. First and foremost,
- 3:01
- we can give ourselves more than anyone
- any foreign government can take away. So
- our ability to have uh one Canadian
- economy. We have bunch of internal trade
- barriers. We we're removing all of
- those.
- But Carney didn't just fight. He pivoted
- to building. He reminded Canadians that
- our ability to create at home is far
- greater than anything a foreign
- government can take away. He spoke about
- removing internal trade barriers,
- creating new trade quarters, investing
- in clean energy, and pushing Canada to
- the forefront of artificial
- intelligence.
- This wasn't just about economics. It was
- about independence. about making sure
- that no matter what happens in
- Washington, Canada's future remains
- firmly in Canadian hands.
- Our ability to build uh for the future
- new trade corridors, clean energy, uh
- artificial intelligence, build out,
- 4:01
- build, diversify with partners, all of
- that is much greater than what is could
- be taken away even in the worst tariffs
- scenario. So you have a positive element
- to that. The second thing that we
- emphasize is how we build. So we build
- as a nation. Uh we build first and
- foremost thinking about workers. So the
- message to Canadians has been we are
- going to create not hundreds of
- thousands of jobs but hundreds of
- thousands of careers in the skilled
- trades and other skilled areas and
- setting up in parallel with major
- projects and investments apprenticeships
- skilled training so that Canadians are
- ready to take advantage of that. Carney
- also touched on the everyday issues
- Canadians face, the cost of living,
- wages, and housing. He said governments
- can't just preach values. They have to
- deliver. That's why his first act was to
- cut taxes for 22 million Canadians,
- 5:03
- lower costs for firsttime home buyers,
- and remove a divisive carbon tax that
- had split the country.
- First thing we did is uh we cut taxes
- for the middle class. We cut taxes for
- 22 million Canadians. Boom. Right away.
- First thing we did, we cut a a tax for
- effectively for young Canadians when
- they're buying their first time uh home.
- Uh cut uh taxes on carbon which was also
- a the direct carbon tax which had become
- a divisive issue. Uh it was a you know
- in textbook uh a good policy but a
- divisive issue. So very tangible things
- that directly affected affordability,
- cost of living. Those are fiscal
- choices, but but they had to be made and
- and and they're delivering and and and
- Canadians are beginning to feel first
- that. Second, um building in a way that
- is as inclusive as possible.
- He then laid out an ambitious plan
- doubling the pace of home building using
- Canadian materials and technology and
- 6:02
- ensuring affordability was built into
- every project. and he made it clear this
- isn't just economic policy, it's nation
- building. Perhaps the most powerful
- moment came when Carney admitted what no
- Canadian leader before him would. We
- were overrelyant on one trading partner.
- This was Carney's direct shot at Trump's
- America. He stressed that Canada must
- build at home and diversify with allies
- who share our values.
- Not everyone, not every country, but
- those who believe in open markets and
- fair partnerships.
- For Carney, this isn't about nostalgia
- for the old system. It's about survival
- in the new one.
- All of what I've said is has actually
- nothing to do with US tariff policy.
- And it goes back to something I said
- earlier and we say over and over again.
- Um we have um learned the lesson that we
- 7:04
- need to be we use the expression masters
- in our own home. We can't o we were
- overrelyant on one trading partner. Um
- we can address it by building at home
- and diversifying. We'll get to it I'm
- sure with like-minded trading partners
- around the world. That's not everybody
- in the world, but countries that share
- our values uh share a commitment to open
- uh open markets. And again, that can
- more than compensate for what's
- happening elsewhere. And the key thing
- is it gives people agency. We're in
- charge. We're not reliant on a decision
- that's taken outside our border.
- Carney then unveiled his vision. Canada
- strong. He explained that Canada's
- foreign policy had always been
- valuebased, but now it must also be
- about strength. Strength built at home.
- Strength shared with like-minded allies.
- you know, our core policy, our core
- message in the election campaign, our
- 8:01
- core policy now is it's called Canada
- Strong. Okay, we're building Canada
- strong uh in a variety of ways. And our
- foreign policy to link it to foreign
- policy has traditionally been a
- valuebased foreign policy. Okay. Um
- we're realizing that it's not just the
- strength of our values, but the value of
- our strength.
- And how do we build that strength? It it
- it's making choices at home in terms of
- defense and security and it's marrying
- that strength with like-minded partners.
- And what we're living through UK, all of
- us, what we're living through is not a
- transition. It's a rupture.
- It's a big change in the trading system.
- It's and we're we're not going back.
- Nostalgia is not a strategy there. Big
- change in geopolitical risk. We have
- agency. We have agency, but we have to
- build strength at home. Find those
- like-minded partners. bring together and
- in doing so you give well we deliver for
- our citizens but also it gives a
- confidence and a purpose to the country
- 9:02
- that is empowering. The line that
- defined the summit we're not going back.
- Nostalgia is not a strategy. Carney
- declared that what the world is
- experiencing is not a transition.
- It's a rupture. The old system of trade
- and geopolitics is gone.
- The question now is who adapts and who
- gets left behind? Carney's answer,
- Canada will adapt, Canada will lead, and
- Canada will stand strong. The progress
- summit wasn't just a meeting of leaders.
- It was Carney's stage to deliver a clear
- warning to Trump, to the US, and to
- Canadians.
- Our future cannot depend on Washington.
- Instead, Carney envisions a Canada that
- builds at home, diversifies abroad, and
- partners with nations who share our
- vision. Canada Strong is more than a
- 10:00
- slogan. It's a survival strategy. This
- is the beginning of a new chapter,
- one where Canada steps out of America's
- shadow and takes its place as a true
- global leader. You've been watching
