At the Commonwealth summit in Antigua, Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada-U.S. trade talks, collapsed since August 2026, have resumed with more intensity, with the U.S. now off Canada's red lines on French-language rules and third-party trade deals, though autos remain a sticking point. Carney calls the shift very welcome and expects to meet President Trump in China at the APEC summit later in November, as Trump told Fox News a deal was near and CBC News reports the progress comes on U.S. midterm election day amid pollsters' expectations of a blue wave.
