As if they don’t want to increase their influence lol. Two sides of the same coin.

Seeing what they did after acquiring nexen i will think again how good they are as partners

Maybe they can build our affordable housing that we’ve talked about for decades.

I’d rather no one influence us but if I was forced to choose, China is the lesser evil and it’s not even close.

Bring BYD to Canada.

Cozy up to China and this almost ensures that Canada will be conquered by Trump. If hes willing to take over Greenland and Venezuela because of „security“ compromised Canada will be moved up the list. We are fucked either way.

For Canada, in the context of the revamped Monroe doctrine, a such a move carries significant risks. Sure, there is a need to slowly move away from the US but this cannot be drastic move. At least for 2026. Otherwise the risk of a direct US intervention in Canada will increase exponentially.

„There are partners in Asia that we can build deeper ties (with) … but the partners in Asia that share our values don’t include China,“ Carney said in a press conference when asked about the envoy’s comments about boosting trade.
We want to like you, but the differences and unspoken realities are pretty massive.

Canada must keep it’s options open.
We need a pragmatic long term approach to trade in these troubling times.
We can’t over commit to China, USA or anyone else.
But right now Carney is in China spacifically to suck up to them and open up trade opportunities because Canada over commited to USA and got stabbed in the back.
So expect more headlines like this and just keep that in mind and don’t over-react to them.

China should break from Russian influence 🤣

Why do people constantly need to make a meal of this???
Today everyone in this chat is dealing with a completely different world and new world order. Canada needs to think about Canada first (and not in the US way).
Every country willing to buy our goods and put us in a spot to both grow and shield us from any single partners’ influence is welcome. We WILL have to accept some things that might make us uncomfortable.
Look. I’m a centrist. I believe in the climate crisis, human right, in REAL facts – and – I also refuse to bury my head in the sand.
Canadians better get used to the idea, that we need to make THIS country the best it can be, and not worry about others at this point. That is not in the cards right now. Maybe we can grow to one day be in that sphere of influence. But with the US losing its mind, we’ve lost the ability to think about all the topics that mattered outside our borders.
Full tilt with economic ties to China (just like anyone else). And stay true to what Canadians are and have always been.

Would be a much better partner than the US. We should be so lucky to step off this sinking ship right into the future with a partner who went from one of the poorest countries, constantly fucked with by their neighbours, to a global superpower. One who got there not through bombing poor countries and stealing their resources but through foresight, planning, and win win agreements.

Of course they did, so they can be the one influencing.
