This doesn't sound like much of a plan...
Carney was asked what Canada’s strategy should be ahead of the next round of tariffs set for April 2, which will be on top of 25 per cent tariffs imposed earlier in March and additional 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum two weeks ago.
“What you do is you prepare for the worst. And that’s part of what we have done in the last weeks. We have made substantial changes to unemployment insurance [sic] program to support Canadian workers,” he said.

You seem to really enjoy cherry picking the news (and also ignoring discussions here which point out your hypocrisy and unfounded opinions)

Carney aims to have 'free trade by Canada Day' between provinces and territories
"We intend from a federal level to have free trade by Canada Day," he said, noting that the plan would be directed at easing transportation, energy, critical minerals and digital connectivity restrictions across the country.
The announcement comes after his meeting with premiers at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa on Friday, with some calling for trade barriers within the country to be swiftly removed in order to make Canada's economy more resilient.
"The agreement is to turn what has been a concept into a reality that will diversify and strengthen our economy… We are committing to removing all federal exemptions under the Canada free-trade agreement," Carney said.
New measures announced:
Temporarily waiving the one-week employment insurance waiting period.
Temporarily allowing businesses to defer corporate income-tax payments and GST and HST remittances.
Deploying a new financing facility (the Large Enterprise Economic and National Security Facility).
Implementing a "one window" approval process to speed up major projects.
Doubling the Indigenous Loan Guarantee to $10 billion, unlocking access to capital for First Nations, Inuit and Métis.
Providing more funding for regional development agencies.
Removing any mobility restrictions for federally regulated professions.
Carney said removing barriers to the free movement of workers, goods and services would increase the size of Canada's economy by $250 billion — equivalent to more than $6,000 for every Canadian.

He's also been clear that he's more focused on internal barriers than external barriers and that he'll talk to Trump when Trump drops the annexation talk (and treats Canada with respect) (he has softened that language lately though).
