Canada in the New Cold War

Here’s where we stand in Canada: - At a workshop during a conference organized by the Muslim Association of Canada, there is talk of making our society “Jew-free.” This same association receives funding from the federal government — yeah, really, we’re all just paying for this. - In the streets of Montreal, an effigy of a Jew is being hanged in public, in a demonstration. With no consequences. This country is sick.

- Canada-China Friendship - It was a pleasure to visit the Chinese embassy in Ottawa this morning to take part in a roundtable discussion about how to improve the Canada-China relationship hosted by Lin Bin who is Deputy Chief of Mission at the Embassy Over several hours we discussed the progress made since Mark Carney’s visit to China, the upcoming arrival of Chinese electric vehicles to Canada, progress China has made in eliminating extreme poverty, economic growth and the energy transition. All very impressive. The Lin Bin asked the round table what could be done to improve this friendship. My suggestion, from an environmentalist perspective was for them to explain to Canadians how China can help Canada achieve our GHG reduction targets. China has transitioned away from fossil fuels faster than any other country. They have cleared the pollution from their urban air, revitalized and reconstructed ecosystems and built massive public transit across the entire country. How can China help Canada achieve similar objectives? The discussion touched on many other important issues like China’s support for world peace, religious freedom, their opening of China to Canadian tourists without visa requirements and increasing academic and cultural exchanges. I am happy to be able to contribute to friendship between our countries and by extension the increased environmental, social and economic progress both countries can accelerate by working together.

China says Carney confirmed Canada's support for their "One China" policy that among other things, says Taiwan belongs to China. Funny Carney's statement didn't mention that.

Hate to say it, but you can make the case the majority Canadian interest is held hostage by 1. A circle of China invested industrialists 2. The politicians they control. 3. The captured or incurious media close to those politicians 4. Low information voters underneath the above.

Canada needs to wake up! Canada has lost its two biggest levers of influence, heavy crude and potash, as the U.S. under President Trump has replaced both through deals with Belarus and Venezuela, while Ottawa’s political and media class chose virtue-signaling over strategic alignment, leaving Canada sidelined in a booming North American economy.
