Canadian identity and unity were the themes of the day as Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to thousands of red and white clad festival-goers at Ottawa’s annual Canada Day celebrations.
In his first Canada Day address as prime minister, Carney emphasized the need for Canadians to unite and focus on building a better and stronger country in the face of tariffs and the ongoing trade dispute with the United States.
