Carney’s proposed “strategic partnership��� with China represents a fundamental misreading of the current security environment. This isn’t about trade protectionism; it’s about recognising asymmetric competition that’s been underway for decades.

At Davos, Carney framed this as a trade diversification issue without acknowledging that China has been the primary revisionist actor actively eroding the liberal international order (LIO) That omission is telling.

China’s soft power strategy (economic coercion, elite capture, infrastructure dependencies) has systematically undermined this order while Western states pursued engagement policies based on false assumptions of convergence.

The Biden admin and allies finally began countermeasures: reshoring critical supply chains, technology controls, alliance reinforcement. But they’re playing catch-up against decades of Chinese strategic positioning. Time asymmetry matters in great power competition.

Trump’s more confrontational approach, whatever its flaws, reflects the urgency of this moment. The window for preserving Western strategic advantage is narrowing. US hegemonic stability, for all its imperfections, underwrites Canadian security and prosperity.

Carney’s positioning reads like reactive spite rather than strategic calculation. Alienating your primary security guarantor over a trade dispute isn’t statecraft. It’s dangerous and short-sighted, conflating economic opportunity with strategic alignment.

To be clear: selective economic engagement with China, with robust safeguards (tech transfer controls, critical infrastructure exclusions, supply chain resilience) is rational policy. A “strategic partnership”? That’s something entirely different.

The question isn’t whether Canada trades with China. It’s whether we understand the difference between transactional commerce and strategic partnership with a revisionist power.

“Here’s the hard truth: If Canada is going to move forward, we need more independent thinkers — not people passively accepting what’s piped into their living rooms. And that starts with questioning where we get our information. The days of thoughtful, old-school journalism are mostly gone. You won’t find it in the so-called mainstream media. If you’re looking, it’s in smaller, independent outfits: @TheHubCanada, Blacklock’s Reporter https://t.co/4w5wIxfKmu, reliable voices on X (formerly Twitter), and a handful of others.
If you’re still glued to the evening “news,” my suggestion is simple: turn it off. Seek out better sources. You’ll be exposed to far less bias, and a much higher quality of content. You’ll also be better equipped to understand what’s actually going on in this country.”

Canada worried about sovereignty suddenly after 10 years of telling people the land doesn’t belong to them, that colonialism is evil, that the founders of Canada were racist and illegitimate not to mention they cancelled their F35 fighter jet order in 2015..

And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.

The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.

This needed an update.

The Left tries to create the belief that their political opponents are evil and deserve to suffer. The Right believes that their political opponents are just a bunch of stupid people who shouldn't be in a responsible job.

The Canadian media enthusiastically lies about everything.

COVID patients are overwhelming the hospitals. People are dropping dead everywhere. If you actually went to a hospital or looked outside your window you would see that wasn’t true.

225 indigenous children are buried in a mass grave in Kamloops. Not only that - there are mass graves everywhere! Yet to this day not even a single bone has been produced as evidence.

The Freedom Convoy locked people inside a build and set it on fire. They are radicals intent on overthrowing the government! Yet only some mischief charges were laid on the organizers.

Trump is going to invade and annex Canada. Elbows up! It never happened and it never will.

Canadians are being detained at the border and intimidated by US Border Patrol causing travellers to feel unsafe and cancel their vacations. Go to the border yourself. Nothing has changed.

And the latest is that @seanfeucht is a MAGA supporter and a threat to public safety which has caused mass cancellations of his concerts and a fine issued to a Montreal church that hosted him. You can watch videos shared by Canadians. These events are nothing like they claim they are.

It’s just persistent and relentless propaganda.

@TristinHopper For millions, 🇨🇦is all we have. There's no Plan B. No nation to embrace us if the Canadian project collapses.

Yet our politics/society is increasingly shaped by dual & tri citizens, by diaspora causes & by global elites, who can afford to experiment here...& flee if they fail.

🚨BREAKING: The @HHSGov has just released its official updated statement defining sex for all federal agencies, external partners, and the public!

SEX is a person’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.

FEMALE is a person of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing eggs (ova).

MALE is a person of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing sperm.

The new guidance also includes detailed clarifying remarks:

"There are only two sexes, female and male, because there are only two types of gametes. An individual human is either female or male based on whether the person is of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing eggs (ova) or sperm.

"The sex of a human, female or male, is determined genetically at conception (fertilization), and is observable before birth. Having the biological function to produce eggs or sperm does not require that eggs or sperm are ever produced. Some females or males may not or may no longer produce eggs or sperm due to factors such as age, congenital disorders or other developmental conditions, injury, or medical conditions that cause infertility.

"A person’s sex is unchangeable and determined by objective biology. The use of hormones or surgical interventions do not change a person’s sex because such actions do not change the type of gamete that the person’s reproductive system has the biological function to produce. Rare disorders of sexual development do not constitute a third sex because these disorders do not lead to the production of a third gamete. That is, the reproductive system of a person with such a disorder does not produce gametes other than eggs or sperm."
