Canada’s close ties to the United States were once a strength but have become a weakness, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sunday, ​in a video message to his country in which he also ‌praised the heroism of military leaders who fought against US invasion more than two centuries ago.
Holding up a small toy soldier depiction of General Isaac Brock, the British military leader who died ​defending what is now Canada from a US invasion in the War ​of 1812, Carney said Canada can’t control the disruption coming from its ⁠US neighbors, and can’t bet its future on the hope that it will ​suddenly stop.
