Prime Minister Carney delivers remarks in a joint meeting of the Australian Parliament in Canberra, Australia.

Canada and Australia have never waited for others to write our futures. We have written it ourselves through a century of choices, standing together in the darkest hours, building with optimism & purpose, and now helping to create what comes next.

An honour to have addressed Australia’s Parliament.

Screenshot of a headline from the CTV News website. The headline reads: Canada and Australia sign a series of agreements on critical minerals.

Canada and Australia have vast deposits of critical minerals. We’re going to work together to build up our production, processing, and refining capacity — for stronger, more resilient supply chains.

Too right.

🇨🇦Canada and 🇺🇸USA are similar in many, somewhat superficial, ways.
