1:52Questions shift to European Union meetings and Quebec's involvement in international discussions.
4:38Asked about a U.S. deal before the midterms, Carney's opening answer is repeated.

The Financial Express has posted a compilation of Canadian hallway interviews with a sharper headline than Mark Carney's answer supports. Its title says Canada is "not in the right position." The prime minister's point is that an acceptable trade deal with the United States has not yet presented itself.

"If those deals present themselves, we will pursue them, but we're not at that position right now," Carney says. He makes Canadian interests the condition for an agreement, including when asked about pursuing a deal before the U.S. midterms. That is different from declaring Canada poorly placed to negotiate.

The upload, which credits CPAC as its footage source, drew about 21,000 views in seven hours. A usual regular video on the channel receives roughly 4,000 across its entire first day. Several commenters focus on the distinction between Carney's wording and the headline; some also question when the footage was recorded.

This is not solely a Carney trade statement. The compilation moves through English and French exchanges about European meetings and Quebec's representation, then reaches François-Philippe Champagne's argument for constructive diplomacy with Washington.

Near the end, Mélanie Joly answers questions about Stelco and jobs. Her condition for further talks is specific: "I'm always willing to sit down, but I need a plan to bring the jobs back, period."
