Mark Carney was asked whether Canada could realistically hold on to its auto jobs. His answer paired a defense of the country's manufacturing strengths with a firm condition for Washington: any agreement must leave Canada with a viable automotive sector.
The exchange, posted by DWS News, begins with CTV's Graham Richardson asking about Honda and Stellantis investments and the pressures facing Canadian workers. Carney responds by tracing the integrated North American auto market through the Auto Pact, NAFTA and CUSMA, arguing that the industry's cross-border structure has served both countries for decades.
He also describes an industry changing beneath those negotiations: electric vehicles, autonomous driving and greater international competition. Canada, he argues, has advantages in skilled workers, lower health and social costs, and government support.
"This is one of the fundamental issues in our trade negotiation," Carney says of the auto sector.
The clip reached about 127,000 views in its first 22 hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for regular videos. But the attention is on a negotiating position, not a completed deal. Carney says talks are progressing while drawing a distinction between other trade announcements and the unresolved U.S. negotiations.
"But I'm not announcing an accord with the United States. We'll continue to work on that," he says.
Canada's prime minister and Liberal Party leader since 2025. He previously headed the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England.
