Address from Prime Minister Mark Carney – Forward Guidance: A Stronger Canada – September 8, 2026
Canada Strong isn’t about just withstanding this crisis, it’s about coming out of it stronger, more resilient, and more independent. It’s about ensuring that no other country can determine our future, and that we can live how we want to live. We have a plan, we’re on track, and we’re just getting started.
—The Right Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
