TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed a Democratic push to repeal U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada after their sweeping midterm victory, saying Friday that restoring free trade would lower costs for American families and benefit U.S. workers, even as Ottawa continues negotiating with Washington.

Canada's unemployment rate went up to a six-month high in October and the economy lost a few thousand jobs as the private sector and full-time employment saw declines, data showed on Friday.
