Liberal leadership contender Mark Carney is expected to announce on Wednesday that if he becomes prime minister he’s committed to reaching NATO’s military investment benchmark of two per cent of gross domestic product by the end of 2030, CBC News has learned.
It could get more complicated — and potentially more expensive — for Canadians to cross the border or send packages to the United States, if President Donald Trump’s executive order on tariffs goes into effect.
