Carney risks running out of time in push to save Canada, says former Liberal leader
Former Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff says Prime Minister Mark Carney is right to warn that the global rules-based order has fractured into competing power blocs led by the U.S., China, and Russia, leaving Canada more exposed. He argues Carney may need to accept the collapse of CUSMA and pursue long-term partnerships with other middle powers and countries like India, but warns this strategy would take a decade or more to bear fruit. Ignatieff cautions that while the plan is feasible, Carney risks running out of political time and must quickly show tangible results at home while setting firm negotiating lines with the United States.
