"Conservative MP Jamil Jivani says he's ready to lend a hand and do what he can, if Prime Minister Mark Carney says he wants help restarting trade negotiations with the United States. The MP for Bowmanville-Oshawa North is a longtime friend and former Yale Law School classmate of U.S. Vice-President JD Vance, though he says in recent months they haven't talked much except about their fantasy football team."
"Jivani said he's offered help in the past, but doesn't want to 'inject himself' into conversations saying the 'Doug Ford commercial debacle' was an example of what happens when there's no co-ordinated strategy in place. U.S. President Donald Trump called off trade talks after an Ontario ad featuring the voice of Ronald Reagan aired during the Major League Baseball playoffs."
""I really do believe I could help," he said. "I would love to be able to talk to JD about how we can make things better for our economy, but I don't want to get involved in what Mark Carney is up to, unless he tells me that's helpful to him.""
Jamil Jivani offered to assist restarting Canada–U.S. trade negotiations if Prime Minister Mark Carney asks for help. Jivani is a longtime friend and former Yale Law School classmate of U.S. Vice‑President JD Vance, though recent contact has been limited to their fantasy football team. Jivani said a new ambassador appointment after Kirsten Hillman's planned departure could prompt reassessment of Canada's U.S. trade strategy, and he would be willing to help improve the situation. Jivani previously offered help but avoids injecting himself into conversations, citing the Doug Ford commercial debacle as an example of lacking coordinated strategy. Jivani has also campaigned against DEI policies and toured universities highlighting challenges facing young men.
