      It is a true statement, especially in light of the revival of the Monroe doctrine.

      Waiting for another unhinged rant that always pops up when Kovrig makes any comment attacking him personally, a Canadian spy working for Canada, because they aren’t pro-China.

      Trump is visiting China in April to negotiate with the Chinese, He’s not going to be asking for anything for Canada when he does, so this is just a plea to voluntarily restrict our sovereignty and national interest at the request of our own intelligence operative.

      I wonder if someone or something isnt already driving a massive wedge between Ottawa and Washington, which makes the visit to China oh so important.
      What a bad headline, honestly makes it look as if Canada is pursuing a separation from our largest trading partner and not the US pushing everyone away.

      No, Trump and his administration are driving the wedge here. We are a sovereign country allowed to make deals with whomever we want. Why should we be beholden to the US when they just disregard our deals whenever they feel like strongarming us?

      You don’t get to be abuaive to your friend, then be upset when they start hanging out with other people.

      I hope it drives a wedge straight into you know who’s, you know where….

      The more we do to distance ourselves from the Americans the better.

      „given that China and Canada really have diametrically opposed interests in a whole range of areas.”

      China and Canada are both dealing with the same maniac in the White House. Diplomacy is about finding similarities as much as it is establishing differences.

      I AM CANADIAN AND I AM NOT AFRAID!

      It does not matter if we are nasty or nice to Trump, the result is going to be the same.

      Which is the lesser of two evils?

      China operates in a very business-like way, but so long as we stand our ground, they are not as idiotic as the Americans (and I say this as a Canadian-American, lol).

      First, the article title is not really backed up by the content. A better title would be „Handle with Caution“

      Second, I appreciate his perspective, especially given what he went through.

      Third, agree with others that it’s the US that is driving a wedge between the US and Canada. The US has also helped China realize that there is advantage and opportunity to doing business with Canada again because we are ‚“in play“, that is open to perhaps new opportunities. Carney has been travelling the globe communication that we are much more open to investment and new deals. It is starting to have an impact. I think one of the biggest is getting Canadian oil to China now that Venezuela may be off the table or limited (thank you Mr. President for helping us out here). That could even mean Chinese investment to get the pipeline built with some variation of production exclusivity, etc. Whatever it turns out to be, it has to work for both sides.

      Fourth, always eyes wide open with China. If we’ve learned anything from the US, is that reliance on a large buyer is dangerous. In the private sector, you never want to be dependent on a single customer for too much of your sales (been there, it doesn’t end well). China could be an interesting way to diversify, again, just keeping in mind who you’re dealing with. I’m sure the folks who do this for a living can work out what is needed.

      Does Kovrig think that we are a US colony and need permission? GTFOH! Every nation should be divesting from the US right now rather than be held hostage & strong armed. It’s a sinking totalitarian ship.

      Trump having his citizens murdered and then calling the victims domestic terrorists is what made the wedge, alongside a number of other straight-up villainous things that fucker has done since he took office.

      Fuck off with this tripe, Kovrig.
