'A wake-up call': Stephen Harper says he advised Carney team to look outside U.S. for trade growth
OTTAWA — Former prime minister Stephen Harper said Monday he's urging Ottawa to find new trading partners outside the United States. Article content 'I think it's fair to say I'm probably the most pro-American prime minister in Canadian history,' Harper told Canadian and American legislators gathered for the annual Midwestern Legislative Conference meeting in Saskatoon. Article content Article content 'We've got to get something short-term worked out with the Trump administration. But this really is a wake-up call for this country to truly diversify its trade export markets. Article content Article content 'Just because we have that geographic proximity does not justify the degree of dependence that we have on a single market.' Article content Harper said he was approached by the government two weeks ago for advice on dealing with U.S. trade policy. Article content The Canadian Press has asked Prime Minister Mark Carney's office whether it approached the former Conservative prime minister for advice but has not yet received a response. Harper told the conference that Canada should no longer rely on Washington for its security. Article content 'While the border is a shared responsibility, let's make sure we spend a lot more on defence so that we can be independently responsible for our own land, seas and skies, independent of the United States,' he said. Article content Harper said that anyone who had asked for his trade advice a year ago would have been urged to deepen economic and security ties with Canada's southern neighbour. Article content Article content 'However, when the government did actually ask me a few weeks ago, my advice was the opposite,' he said. Article content Article content Harper said that while Washington is using a failed economic policy of pursuing economic growth through tariffs, the U.S. still needs trading partners. Article content 'We just cannot be in a position in the future where we can be threatened in this way and not have that leverage,' he said. Article content He said he hopes Americans recognize that they can't take their international allies and trading partners for granted. Article content 'I really do hope that a realization seeps into the United States,' he told the crowd of American lawmakers. Article content 'Canadians are a combination of just angry and bewildered by what is happening here. And that is very real. And it is very deep and it is across the country, and it is across the political spectrum.' Article content Harper also said China is undermining global trade through its use of World Trade Organization mechanisms. He said the Pacific Rim trading bloc created through the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership allows Canada to undertake trade with other countries that respect global rules.

Baseball commissioner confronted by Bryce Harper during meeting: AP source
CHICAGO — Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper had a spirited exchange during a question-and-answer session between the commissioner and the team, according to a person with direct knowledge of the conversation. Article content The person spoke to the AP on Monday on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. Phillies slugger Nick Castellanos previously confirmed some details from the meeting in interviews with The Bandwagon and ESPN. Article content Speaking before Philadelphia's game at the Chicago White Sox, Harper did not dispute the published descriptions of his confrontation with Manfred. Article content 'I won't be getting into the details of what happened or how I felt or anything else like that,' Harper said. 'I don't think it does any good for anybody for that to happen. So, for me, I just, you know, trying to worry about baseball, trying to worry about everything in here.' Article content Manfred met with the Phillies and Red Sox during their series last week in Philadelphia. The session with the Phillies lasted more than an hour. Article content Manfred spoke with the NL team about the media landscape and working together to grow the sport, according to the person with knowledge of the conversation. At some point, Harper told Manfred if he was there to talk about a salary cap, he could 'get the (expletive) out' of the clubhouse. Article content Baseball's collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1, 2026, and some players are concerned about a possible management push for a cap. A spokeswoman for the Major League Baseball Players Association declined comment on Monday night. Article content Harper is a two-time NL MVP and one of the game's marquee names, making his conversation with Manfred more noteworthy. The eight-time All-Star agreed to a $330 million, 13-year deal with the Phillies in February 2019. Article content 'Obviously, I don't want that to happen in those meetings,' Harper said. 'I don't want those things to be out there. I think, you know, when we have meetings with the commissioner or anybody else that comes to our clubhouse, those are good meetings to have.' Article content Manfred and some owners have cited payroll disparity as one of baseball's biggest problems, while at the same time MLB is working to address a revenue decline from regional sports networks. Unlike the NFL, NBA and NHL, baseball has never had a salary cap because its players staunchly oppose one. Article content Manfred has been meeting with teams more often since he said in the aftermath of baseball's March 2022 labor agreement that he needed to work on his relationship with players. Article content 'When I talk to the players, I don't try to convince them that a salary cap system would be a good thing,' Manfred said during the All-Star break. 'I identify a problem in the media business and explain to them that owners need to change to address that problem. I then identify a second problem that we need to work together and that is that there are fans in a lot of our markets who feel like we have a competitive balance problem.' Article content Asked for his argument against a salary cap and why it's such an important issue for players, Harper responded: 'I don't want to get into details as of right now.' He also said he planned to remain vocal about labor issues behind closed doors — just as he has done in the past. Article content 'I've talked labor and I've done it in a way that I don't need to talk to the media about it,' he said. 'I don't need it out there. It has nothing to do with media or anybody else. It's what we can as players and owners and everybody else can come together to try to make this game great.' Article content
