Mark Carney revives tough talk about America and warns ‘a new imperialism threatens'
OTTAWA—Prime Minister Mark Carney, in unveiling $9 billion in new defence spending, revived tough talk against the United States Monday, describing America as hustling its allies to pay now or risk losing their ability to sell products to American consumers.
Speaking in Toronto, Carney did not use words like 'grift' or 'hustle' but he also did not mince words when it came to describing the U.S. as abandoning its role as a powerful leader on the world stage in favour of flexing its market muscle.

Prime minister, MPs attend ceremony to raise Pride flag on Parliament Hill
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney was joined by members of Parliament from all parties this afternoon as he raised the Pride flag in Ottawa. In his remarks on Parliament Hill, Carney said Pride is both a celebration of how 'love has already won' and a promise to ensure that everyone's rights are protected. He noted that it's been 22 years since the Ontario Court of Appeal issued a decision that legalized same-sex marriage in Ontario, and 20 years since Parliament passed the Civil Marriage Act. Carney said there has been a backlash around the world against the progress made on protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ people. Woman and Gender Equality Minister Rechie Valdez announced the government is setting aside $1.5 million for security and insurance planning for Pride festivals across Canada this year in response to a growing number of threats. The government previously budgeted $15 million for LGBTQ+ communities through its Action Plan on Combatting Hate. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 10, 2025.
