OTTAWA — Canadian Minister of Finance François-Philippe Champagne used his second federal budget to argue that Canadians “shoulder to shoulder” can become “masters of their own destiny.”
“In the face of adversity, we seize opportunities and work together to build back stronger. » Champagne said Thursday in the House of Commons while sharing the 2026 federal budget, a document that does not dwell on Trump’s trade war.
“I sincerely believe that in a few years, Canadians will see this moment as another turning point in our history,” he added.
Asked about the Democrats’ blitz against the Republicans during the midterm elections, the Prime Minister Marc Carney told reporters his government was focused on opportunities. “Yes, what is happening in the United States is important and things will evolve. But we are focused here,” he said Thursday morning on the Hill. “It’s a confident country moving forward.”
