Ottawa May Be Delaying Taiwan Trade Deal to Avoid Upsetting China, Taipei’s Envoy Says

Taiwan’s ambassador to Canada says Ottawa may be delaying the signing of a trade agreement with the island nation as it’s seeking closer ties with Beijing.

Harry Tseng, head of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Canada, said in an interview with CBC’s French arm Radio-Canada that Taiwan has been left with the impression that Canada is seeking to improve its relations with China at the expense of its relationship with Taiwan.

Terry Glavin: Carney-China deal full of Trojan Horses on police and propaganda

“Trojan horses.”

That’s shaping up to be the most useful way of describing several mostly overlooked elements of the “strategic partnership” Prime Minister Mark Carney entered into with Chinese Supreme Leader Xi Jinping in Beijing last month. It wasn’t all about canola and cars.

China and Carney will be the death of Canada.

Tory MP Questions New Police Cooperation Agreement With China Despite Beijing’s Hostile Actions

Conservative MP and democratic reform critic Michael Cooper is raising concerns about Ottawa’s new agreement with Beijing on cooperation between law enforcement agencies, saying China poses a security threat to Canada.

Cooper asked Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, as he was testifying before the House of Commons Procedure and House Affairs committee on Feb. 5, whether China is a rule of law state and whether it has an independent judiciary.

“I’m not here as a foreign policy expert, nor an expert on China,” Anandasangaree responded.

Canada is uniquely unprepared for the dire national-security crisis we are now in

It is doubtful any country has ever been in quite the national security dilemma Canada now finds itself in: with so much land and so few people to defend it; wedged between two expansionist superpowers, one of which was until very recently our best defence against the other, but which has since become more or less aligned with it.

The dilemma is particularly acute in light of our charmed history. A country that had always considered itself invulnerable to attack – because of the oceans that surround us, because of the forbidding climate in our North, because of the Americans – wakes up to discover that it has suddenly become peculiarly vulnerable.

Coyne alert!

U.S. Dealers In Full Panic Mode After Canada Green-Lights Chinese Cars

If you feel like Chinese cars are suddenly right around the corner, you’re not alone. The notion has received a groundswell of both direct and indirect support lately, and as affordable new cars drop like flies from U.S. lineups, American consumers are becoming more open-minded about the prospect of allowing Chinese OEMs to enter the market.

Given the political climate, it’s no wonder that dealers feel caught a bit off-guard by this development. And now they’re getting vocal about it.

A New Era in Canada–China Relations, or an Arctic Bargain?

OTTAWA — Canada has only one thing that Chinese President Xi desperately needs that he hasn’t been able to get elsewhere: a path to Arctic nation status. China has only one thing Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney desperately needs that he can’t get elsewhere: a trade pact large enough to make credible his vow to pivot away from Canada’s dependence on the United States.

In Carney’s world, Canada is more powerful than Trump thinks

U.S. President Donald Trump has reacted harshly to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s acclaimed speech at Davos. First Mr. Trump claimed Canada was a small-power satellite dependent on the U.S. Then Mr. Trump threatened 100-per-cent tariffs if Canada made a deal with China.

Till this day, we are still feeling the aftershock of the speech. Some observers have criticized Mr. Carney for provoking Mr. Trump. McGill University’s Andrew Potter called Mr. Carney “reckless.”


I bet the author of this love letter caught the clap from Carney.

Joel Kotkin: Carney is turning Canada into China’s vassal state

 

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at the recent Davos conference — where he called for decoupling from the U.S. while entering a “strategic partnership” with China — was greeted rapturously abroad. His tough on Trump rhetoric is certainly winning political points at home as well.

Yet, in listing towards China, Carney is not only ignoring geography, but embracing an authoritarian regime far more dangerous than anything coming from MAGA. China’s clear intention is to seek global hegemony based on trade with an array of vassal states. All are then expected to follow Beijing’s party line.

U.S. interest in Alberta separatism raises red flags over what might come next

Communications between the Trump administration and Alberta’s separatist movement raised alarm at the highest levels in Canada last week. It also raised questions about Washington’s possible intentions.

Some even see dangerous parallels between American efforts to inflame Alberta separatism and the Russian campaign to gin up a separatist movement in eastern Ukraine a decade ago.

Last week, an Alberta separatist group revealed that it was hosted at three meetings by the U.S. State Department.


Honestly as the true nature of the Carney ChiCom alliance is revealed annexation looks better and better.

Chinese Canadian Group Petitions for Support of Carney’s China Policy While Pushing National Nanjing Memorial Day

OTTAWA — A petition supporting Prime Minister Mark Carney’s re-engagement with China is circulating in Canada’s Chinese diaspora, launched by an organization that has already submitted a policy proposal to the Prime Minister’s Office on establishing a national Nanjing Massacre Memorial Day.

The Chinese Canadian Proposals Committee, registered in Canada on August 31, 2025—several months after Carney’s spring election—proposed in October 2025 that Parliament establish a Nanjing Massacre Memorial Day “as part of a discussion on public history education,” according to a report posted on Weixin, a Chinese social media platform.

Was Mark Carney’s Davos speech a mistake if it upset Trump?

In an interview with an American television network this week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent volunteered some advice to Mark Carney.

“I would just encourage Prime Minister Carney to do what he thinks is best for the Canadian people, not his own virtue-signalling, because we do have a USMCA negotiation coming up,” Bessent said, using the American name for the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement.

“He rose to power on an anti-American, anti-Trump message, and that’s not a great place to be when you’re negotiating with an economy that is multiples larger than you are and your biggest trading partner.”


I think Carney is priming the LPC for a snap election.

Pissing off Trump is just free campaign advertising for his gullible base.

It’s entirely possible he prefers China as a personally profitable alternative to the US.

Canadians now prioritize trade with China over human rights concerns

A growing majority of Canadians now view economic engagement with China as more important than focusing on the country’s human rights record, a new Angus Reid Institute poll shows.

Three-in-five respondents (59%) said trade and investment opportunities should be Canada’s main priority, marking a sharp shift from recent years when human rights concerns dominated public opinion.

How Chinese EVs Have Impacted Global Markets—and What It Means for Canada as It Opens Its Market

Canada is set to open its automotive market to Chinese electric vehicles, as researchers and policymakers warn that a flood of Chinese products in markets such as Europe has come at the expense of domestic producers.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Mark Carney struck a deal with China to allow 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into Canada annually at a 6.1 percent tariff, replacing the 100 percent tariff imposed in 2024 amid concerns over Beijing’s non-market practices.

Trump says ‘very dangerous’ for UK, Canada to do business with China as Starmer lands in Shanghai

Donald Trump said it was “very dangerous” for the UK to do business with China, as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer arrived in Shanghai on the third day of his visit to the country.

…Beyond his brief comments, Trump did not say anything further about the UK’s engagement with China, pivoting instead to Canada and delivering a similar warning.

He said it was “even more dangerous, I think, for Canada”.

“Canada is not doing well. They’re doing very poorly, and you can’t look at China as the answer,” he added.


Odd language for a non-trade deal
