After the Prime Minister’s recent speech at Davos announcing a new vision for Canada's place in the world, US Treasury Secretary Bessent now claims the PM walked back his comments in a call with President Trump yesterday. The Prime Minister says he told President Trump he meant what he said. The PM must clarify what is going on. Canadians have a right to know. To date, there has been no PMO statement or readout of the phone call with President Trump. In the last federal election campaign, Mr. Carney claimed he would impose dollar for dollar tariffs on the US while he was quietly removing them. He told President Trump his elbows up rhetoric was just a campaign tactic. He claimed that the President in another phone call stopped calling Canada the 51st state. Later he was forced to admit that was false. Canadians deserve the truth. Many of these questions would be answered if the Prime Minister simply adopted the longstanding convention held by previous Prime Ministers that when two world leaders talk, they publicly release a readout of that conversation. It is unacceptable that Canadians and journalists learned of this recent call from American media. In these challenging times, the public interest is best served by accurate, forthright information from government. #cdnpoli
