Prime Minister Mark Carney has unveiled an ambitious plan to double Canada’s non-U.S. exports within the next decade, declaring that the country must “play to win” in an increasingly uncertain global economy.

In a nationally televised address, Carney argued that Canada’s heavy reliance on the United States has become a vulnerability, particularly as U.S. tariffs on key industries such as autos, steel, and lumber continue to disrupt investment and threaten jobs. He warned that the era of deep economic integration with Washington is over, and that Canada must diversify its trade relationships to secure long-term prosperity.

The strategy, to be detailed in the upcoming federal budget, will focus on expanding trade with Europe, Asia, and emerging markets.

“Fortune favours the bold,” Carney said, urging Canadians to embrace a more competitive and outward-looking economic vision.

Analysts note that while the goal is ambitious, success will depend on Canada’s ability to negotiate new trade agreements, support exporters, and adapt to shifting global supply chains.
