Canada and Turkey have formally launched negotiations for a free-trade agreement (FTA), Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office said on Tuesday.
“The technical teams from both countries will undertake the necessary work to define the scope and ambition of the agreement and prepare for the first round of negotiations,” the office said in a statement.

The move follows an agreement last month by Canadian and Turkish trade ministers to begin exploratory discussions aimed at concluding a free-trade agreement.
“Closer economic cooperation will support economic growth, support job creation, enhance competitiveness, strengthen supply chains, and help our businesses succeed in an increasingly dynamic global economy,” the statement added.
We currently import more from Turkey than we export (see: trade defecit).
The bigger issue, is what we import which is iron, steal, machinery, fruits and nuts meaning it undercuts our steal and manufacturing sector.
Carney sucks.
Showing what an utter failure carney has been for Canada, all I’ve heard from the american side is that Dominic leblanc nor carney ever showed up for any meetings regarding cusma, and yet this is supposed to be a good thing? A Muslim country across the ocean is a good trading partner? I wonder what Brookfield is getting out of this, this government should not be called the liberal party, but the Brookfield party of Canada, they’ve been benefiting from carney in power, not Canada or Canadians, do an article on that global
More Trojan horse invaders arrive in Canadastan. Canadastan gets nothing in return but more violence.
Great, they will continue to steal Canadian technology for their weapon systems that will kill more of their enemies. Ask any Canadian Peace keeper who served on Cyprus what the Turks were like to deal with. We’ll sell reactor power plants and they will sell us processed food? The US has laws preventing arms sales to Turkey and we are making them our “friends”. Mr. Carney, reconsider! We can’t be this desperate.
This is great news for Canada we can sell them gallons of Maple syrup while in return they can sell us more Turkish barber hot towels than you can shake a stick at !!! win win
Aside from the Ford Transit, what do they have that we need?
Another MOU with a friendly nation for his idiots to drool over
Yummy.More Turkey
So, more free trade ‘agreements’. Nothing solid actually traded, no dollars made for Canadians by Canadians. More wasted jet fuel and catered food for his wifey and himself. Another vacay for the PM. So sick of the charade being played by this f*scist pig.
