The trip marks a key step in turning Carney’s “middle powers solidarity” concept—first proposed in his Davos speech—from a slogan into concrete diplomatic action. Stop 1: India Amid the major political controversy surrounding the Nijjar assassination case, Carney and Narendra Modi signed agreements worth CAD $5.5 billion, including a $2.6 billion uranium deal, and pushed toward signing a free trade agreement by the end of the year. However, opposition from Canada’s Sikh community and Liberal Party MPs made this “blood-stained handshake” a politically risky move. Stop 2: Australia Carney delivered a speech in the Australian Parliament, the first by a Canadian prime minister in nearly 20 years, proposing that Canada and Australia view each other as “strategic cousins.” The two countries launched a Critical Minerals Alliance and signed multiple agreements covering clean energy and defense cooperation. However, controversy erupted when Carney said during a press conference that Canada would not rule out military participation in a potential conflict. The comment triggered intense backlash at home. After returning to Canada, Carney clarified in Parliament that Canada would never participate in offensive military operations. Stop 3: Japan Canada and Japan established a “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” covering defense, energy, and critical minerals. However, Japan did not announce specific investment figures, and Japanese officials clearly hinted that future investment by Japanese companies in Canada will depend on the outcome of the USMCA renegotiation. A Parallel Track at Home At the same time, opposition leader Pierre Poilievre visited London and Berlin, proposing: A CANZUK alliance (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK) A strategic reserve system for critical minerals His approach emphasizes “industrial diplomacy,” forming a contrasting strategy to Carney’s international outreach. Poilievre is also preparing for a visit to the United States. Meanwhile, Canada’s Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Washington, laying groundwork for the upcoming USMCA review on July 1. Key Conclusion All of these diplomatic efforts ultimately point to a single decisive moment: The July 1, 2026 USMCA review. Carney’s strategy: “Go out and make friends.” Poilievre’s strategy: “Strengthen ourselves first.” Both approaches have their logic—but neither is sufficient on its own. In the end, Canada’s fate may still be decided at the negotiating table.
