Does Prime Minister Mark Carney care about talking to Donald Trump now that 1,000 workers have been given layoff notices at Algoma Steel? It was just shy of two weeks ago when the Prime Minister was attending the G20 meetings in South Africa and was asked when he had last spoken to U.S. President Donald Trump. Given the problems facing Canadian industry and the state of trade talks, it was a valid question.

00:00:00.000 From Brian Lilly at the Toronto Sun, Mark Carney has 41,000 reasons to no longer ignore
00:00:17.200 U.S. trade talks. Does Mark Carney care about talking to Donald Trump now that 1,000 workers
00:00:23.020 have been given layoff notices at Algoma Steel? It was just shy of two weeks ago when the Prime
00:00:28.480 minister was attending the G20 meetings in South Africa and was asked when he had last spoken to
00:00:33.480 U.S. President Donald Trump. Given the terrorists facing Canadian industry and the state of trade
00:00:38.640 talks, it was a valid question, but one Carney met with open contempt. Who cares? I mean, it's a
00:00:44.980 detail. It's a detail, Carney said. I spoke to him. I'll speak to him again when it matters.
00:00:51.120 Just before Christmas, Algoma Steel has announced 1,000 layoffs, more than a third of its workforce.
00:00:57.500 Beyond Algoma Steel, we've seen General Motors cut the third shift at its Oshawa assembly plant.
00:01:02.660 As a result of the tariffs, Holsag Furniture in Lindsay, Ontario is laying off more than 130 people
00:01:09.280 and moving its operations stateside in March in response to the tariffs.
00:01:13.600 These stories are being repeated in communities big and small across the country.
00:01:18.060 As a result of the tariffs, in Ontario alone, it is estimated that 40,000 manufacturing jobs
00:01:23.980 have been lost this year due to tariff disruption. We need serious political leadership in Ottawa.
00:01:30.780 What we are getting is political gamesmanship. Carney clearly knows his fight with Trump excites
00:01:37.000 some voters, mostly older and retired Canadians who have no fear of being laid off. Voters over
00:01:42.680 55 years old are Carney's current power base, and they are part of the electorate most likely to be
00:01:47.980 concerned about Trump and tariffs. The longer he keeps the fight with Trump going, the better it
00:01:53.520 is for the Liberal Party. There are thousands of families dealing with layoffs or facing that
00:01:58.340 prospect. They need a Prime Minister who cares enough to speak up for them.
