- Today at 12:54:18 PMCarney now says Canada has "no intention" of a free-trade deal with China.
Let's be honest about how we got here.
Carney spent months travelling the world. Europe. Asia. The Gulf. Africa. No trade deals. No breakthroughs. No leverage built. By July, there was nothing concrete to show for it.
China was the easy stop. Not because it was smart, but because it was available. And instead of quietly managing that reality, Ottawa trumpeted a "new world order" narrative... as if leverage had replaced dependence.
It hadn't.
That's when Trump stepped in. Loudly. Crudely. Predictably.
And Canada got spanked.
Now suddenly we're back to law. Back to USMCA. Back to saying the courts will sort it out. And to be clear, Canada should win the legal argument under USMCA. The rules matter. The agreement matters.
But, did the China moves cut across that position anyway... especially on autos?
Because this isn't theoretical. Roughly 90 percent of Canadian auto manufacturing depends on U.S. market access. About 150,000 Canadian jobs sit directly behind that trade. This isn't diplomacy class. This is payroll.
Trade today isn't just about tariffs. It's about lawfare, standards, rules of origin, and leverage embedded in agreements. Courts matter more than ever. But courts don't replace strategy. And they don't protect you from bad sequencing.
Carney's mistake wasn't China.
It was pretending dependence had disappeared.
You don't declare a new world order before you've secured your old one.
Trump didn't invent Canada's vulnerability. He exposed it. And then he pushed on it.
This moment isn't about Trump versus China. It's about whether Canada understands that trade is now power, law, and leverage... not virtue signaling and press releases.
And whether we're finally prepared to act like a country that knows the difference.

- Today at 09:18:15 AMQuote from: DKG on Today at 07:32:08 AMSo in the hyper-competitive world of geopolitics, every sign of drifting away from the US orbit invites scrutiny. Mr. Carney may feel obliged to assure Canadians he is "standing up" for them, but China's record of election interference, imprisonment of Canadian citizens and his own long, well-documented ties to Chinese political and financial elites before entering Canadian public life make his getting caught between two big powers seem like the crisis he always dreamed of.China's favors are why I am so rich. Now they are demanding repayment.

Banning new gas and diesel vehicles would require a huge number of new subsidies, power plants and transmission lines that would cost taxpayers billions that we cannot afford.
Our pm just sold us out to China. They will flood our country with ev's. Do you not think that might influence his decision on whether to continue with the internal combustion engine ban by 2035?
