Critics are questioning Prime Minister Mark Carney's approach to the U.S. tariff threat, arguing that his 'everything on the table' rhetoric lacks concrete measures. The Conservative Party has called for an emergency parliamentary session, accusing Carney of failing to outline a clear plan to protect Canadian industries. Some business leaders worry that his cautious diplomacy may be perceived as weakness, encouraging further demands from Washington. Without specific counter-tariffs or sectoral support, they say, Canadian exporters remain vulnerable. Provincial premiers have also expressed frustration over the lack of coordination, with some pushing for a harder line. Critics contend that Carney's gradual strategy risks delaying necessary action, leaving workers and businesses in limbo. They demand a transparent, time-bound framework that shows exactly what Canada will do if tariffs are imposed.
