    ‘Economic destiny’
    “This will be an incredibly exciting time as we take control of our economic destiny to create a new Canadian economy,” Carney said.

    To this end, he promised to abolish existing trade barriers between Canadian provinces by July 1 to expand the economy, and to strengthen trade with “reliable allies”.

    this will be an exciting time indeed; I’m eager to see how this develops and Canada’s economy decouples from the USA’s and flourishes in spite of it

      I like the idea of decoupling from the US. I’m concerned by the idea of putting “economic growth” (which usually means growing the wealth of the wealthy) above everything else.

      What we need is to grow our economy from the bottom up, but doing that involves making moves that work against the interests of the wealthy.
