Carney's Council: New Cross-Border Economic Team

0:00Prime Minister Mark Carney has rolled out a fresh advisory council focused on Canada, U.S. economic ties. The group packs 24 members, pulling in voices from all sides, former conservative politicians, auto industry leaders, lumber and steel reps, unions and corporate big shots. This set up marks a shift toward cross-partisan teamwork, especially with tensions high on trade borders. Carney's team announced it recently, aiming to tackle shared economic headaches head-on. Local insiders are buzzing with approval. Conservative strategist Cole Hogan called it a slick move, proof that Carney's sharper on strategy than most think. Others see it as a smart way to build buy-in across aisles. The council's diverse line of promises real input from business and labor fronts, potentially smoothing out supply chain snags and tariff talks. No word yet on first meetings, but expectations are sky high. As cross-border flows stay crucial, this council could reshape how Canada plays the long game with its biggest partner, keeping eyes peeled for those.
