The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that Prime Minister Mark Carney called for "a new partnership" between Canada and the United States on Thursday, as Ottawa looks to get back to the negotiating table ahead of a crucial review of the continental trade agreement. A triple-bylined item led by Mark Rendell says a high-profile speech at the Economic Club of New York, Mr. Carney spoke of the "mutual strength" that comes from the two countries' integrated manufacturing supply chains and energy sectors. And he said Canada was open to more co-operation inside a "Fortress North America" on industries that are currently subject to hefty U.S. tariffs, including automobiles, steel and aluminum. "Canada strong will help make America great again," he said. "Examples of where that's true are legion, where we should work together and compete with the world together. And to those ends, we have made specific, practical proposals to the U.S. administration." The remarks struck a more conciliatory tone after months in which Mr. Carney has warned that further economic integration with the U.S. is a weakness. While in New York, Mr. Carney met with executives from BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, Apollo and several other companies.
