🇨🇦🇺🇸 Canada is really itching to pick a fight with the U.S., stonewalling numerous strategic interests around rare earths, oil and gas access, and re-arming.
Carney tells Canadians they can't rely on America. Meanwhile 550 of his 673 declared assets are American-owned.
But the bigger issue isn't his portfolio. It's his policy.
Burdened by a globalist mindset, Carney and co. are blocking several efforts that would allow increased (emergency) oil and gas distribution to bypass the straits of harmuz.
The parties that can assist the U.S. and Asia are sanctioned by no other than Canada, even though Europe, the U.S., and even Australasia either have no sanctions or have dropped them long time ago. This is all thanks to a strong Ukrainian lobby around Carney.
While the U.S. and its allies scramble for rare earths, ammunition, and energy alternatives, Canada is sitting on sanctions it imposed after Russia invaded Ukraine and hasn't touched since despite being dropped by every other country. Banks can’t offer LCs or facilities owing to the Canadian holdouts. So everything stays stuck in limbo.
Many of the entities on the Canadian sanctions list are now exactly the kind of suppliers the West needs, particularly in Central Asia, where former Soviet states are key to filling gaps in defense supply chains and critical minerals.
Canada's "Ukraine-first" approach made sense in 2022. In 2026, with a Middle East war driving an energy crisis and China restricting rare earth exports, it's becoming a liability for everyone around it.
The U.S. is running low on interceptors. Gulf states are shopping for ammo in Seoul and London. And Canada is still frozen in a policy designed for a different crisis.
Carney won on an anti-Trump wave. But governing means making hard calls that go beyond the campaign.
