NDP Leader Accuses Carney of Advancing Corporate Agenda During Canada’s Trade War

NDP Leader Avi Lewis has accused Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government of fast-tracking corporate priorities while presenting its trade-war response as a plan to protect Canadians. Speaking after meetings with union leaders, housing advocates and food-bank representatives, Lewis called for stronger employment insurance, wage supports and expanded affordable housing. He also criticized proposed pipeline and military spending, arguing that ordinary workers need immediate assistance. Carney has urged a united national response as Canada confronts escalating tariffs and economic pressure from Washington.
