00:05U.S. tariffs with retaliatory measures aimed at minimizing the impact on Canada while inflicting

00:51we use it to protect our workers. But above all, what we are doing is we are building
00:57Canada strong. Attendees at the rally voiced their confidence
01:01in Carney's leadership, praising his consistent stance on free trade and his resolve in the
01:06face of international economic pressure. Things he hit on during the campaign trail

01:20legislation, talking with the provincial leaders and municipal leaders on that.
01:26Well, I think we all will be impacted. Like, you can't not impact us. I mean, more so people
01:33who are trying to build a home, perhaps. But everybody's going to be impacted. It's just ridiculous.
