Mark Carney has opened a Pandora’s Box with his China deals

Until China starts openly threatening canada’s sovreignty, they will be a better friend than the US.

This will last until interference becomes so egregious and corrosive that it’s impossible to ignore.

The US government has been meeting with Canadian seperatists and that is already impossible to ignore. Is Chinese interference going to be more profound than that?

the CCP is directing espionage and foreign interference operations throughout western democracies, and Canada is a particular target

The US government has been spying on it’s allies for decades. At least china doesn’t pretend to be our friend while they do it.

“the Party’s weapon that it uses to expand control and influence without force.”

Sounds preferable to open threats of military invasion.

I wonder why you left out these parts of the article…

“Mark Carney is being elevated much the way Justin Trudeau was… What I am most shocked about is that everybody seems to think that this is some kind of radical departure and that Trump’s belligerents is driving Canada reluctantly into the arms of Beijing. Is there anyone who can explain to me, or tell me, that if Kamala Harris had been elected a year and a bit ago in the American election, do we really think that Mark Carney would have done anything different? This is bread in the bone with these people. It is what they do and what they have always done. Whatever you make of any of this, could you please leave off with this business that Trump is driving us into the arms of China. This is where the Trudeau Liberals unfortunately feel most comfortable. It goes back to Justin Trudeau’s dad. What is happening here is the revival and reconstitution of a lot of protocols and MOUs that were in place during the Justin Trudeau period, the Dominic Barton period, before the Chinese pushed the envelope a bit by kidnapping Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, and before the public revelations about the degree to which the Chinese were influencing and monkey-wrenching our federal election system.”

“Mélanie Joly musing about Canada and China building EVs together – this is just the same old story of the Liberal Party of Canada elites turning a blind eye to Trojan horses for Chinese intelligence infiltration, stealing of Canada’s world-leading technology like the Nortel case… Why is Mark Carney moving ahead with these absurd deals? My theory is… Scott Bessett at the White House is saying, ‘Who’s Carney working for?’ Look, he is trying to thread the needle between his patrons, the industrialists in Montreal that I’ve reported have been in bed with the Chinese communist elite, along with Jean Chrétien for decades. He is working with and for them. He is working for a majority. His elbows up rhetoric is still winning, anti-US, anti-Donald Trump. They’ve got a ticket to be a majority government for a long time unless Canadians smarten up. Here is the key: Mark Carney knows that if we don’t get an American trade deal, China doesn’t even care about us anymore – we matter because of our trade integration with the U.S. and the world.”

Gee, I wonder who’s viewpoint this article is trying to push.

Plus quoting The Epoch Times? Yikes.

In an ideal world Canada would not need to choose between such nations for economic stability but we got caught with our pants down and need to scramble for solutions fast.

China has been greatly expanding their projection of soft power while the US surrendered theirs almost entirely to focus on hard power. Surprising literally nobody, making threats of invasion and abducting leaders of other nations is a great way to drive away your (ex) allies and trade partners.

Conservatism in Canada is an empty shell that think tanks fill.

We need to make our relationship with China closer to “neutral”, as our relationship with the US is forced to become more adversarial.
