Why the Liberals Tried to Undermine Jamil Jivani’s Washington Trip

Canada’s trade relationship with the United States is under real strain, and instead of cooling tensions, Ottawa seems more focused on protecting ideology than protecting jobs. In this episode of Tap the Maple, we break down why Conservative MP Jamil Jivani’s trip to Washington is causing visible discomfort inside the Liberal government, why Mark Carney appeared agitated by the visit, and why accusations from Melanie Joly simply don’t hold up. With two-thirds of Canada’s trade tied to the United States, this isn’t about partisanship, it’s about reality. Jivani’s meetings with senior U.S. officials, auto industry leaders, and his push for a multi-partisan approach to the upcoming CUSMA review reveal a sharp contrast between results-driven leadership and globalist posturing. Why does de-escalation suddenly threaten Ottawa’s narrative? Why does success from the opposition feel like a problem? And what does this say about who’s actually fighting for Canadian workers?
