"Canada doesn't live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian," Carney responded in a national address in Quebec City ahead of a new legislative session, even as he acknowledged the "remarkable partnership" between the two nations. On Thursday, Carney said Canada was not under any "illusions" about the precarious state of global relations.
