There were several moments when federal Liberal leadership hopeful Mark Carney drew cheers and applause from a crowd of more than 300 party faithful during a quick stop in Kelowna on Tuesday morning (Feb. 12).

One of the biggest cheers came when he addressed the U.S. tariff threat.

91裸聊视频淚n a crisis, plan beats no plan," he said. "We have a plan for Canada that is going to deliver the strongest economy and ride out the Americans until they come back to the table.91裸聊视频�

Carney said that the Americans have lost their way and have forgotten about the 91裸聊视频渂ig hits91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频渟queezes91裸聊视频� on the middle class.

He told the crowd that the U.S. wants Canada91裸聊视频檚 resources. 91裸聊视频淭hey want our water. They want our land. They would destroy our way of life.91裸聊视频�

Carney addressed U.S. President Donald Trump91裸聊视频檚 demands that Canada stem what he claimed was the threat of fentanyl and illegal aliens crossing the border.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 a challenge here, but it91裸聊视频檚 a crisis there,91裸聊视频� Carney said. 91裸聊视频淯s doing what we can to help them with that is absolutely appropriate. Securing our borders is in our interests as much as it is in theirs.91裸聊视频�

Trump's threat to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all goods from Canada, and 10 per cent on energy, has been paused for 30 days after Canada implemented new border measures. This week, the U.S. also threatened a 25 per cent tariff on all global steel and aluminum imports starting March 12.
