VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a video address released Sunday that Canada’s strong economic ties to the United States were once a strength but are now a weakness that must be corrected.
In the 10-minute address, Carney spoke about his government’s efforts to strengthen the Canadian economy by attracting new investments and signing trade deals with other countries.
“The world is more dangerous and divided,” Carney said. “The U.S. has fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising its tariffs to levels last seen during the Great Depression.
“Many of our former strengths, based on our close ties to America, have become weaknesses. Weaknesses that we must correct.”
And this is why he is bowing to China? Are the China ties strength?
They’re balance and strategic maneuvering room, at least. Once Chinese ties exceed American ones you start having a point, but we’re nowhere close.
Bowing to China, what a weird take. We allowed them to export 49k cars for us exporting Canola and Beef. The Americans deal significantly more with China than we do. Going to whine about that?
A year ago, during an election campaign in April 2025, Carney called China “Canada’s biggest security threat”. Now China is a “strategic partner”.
Canada called out China over forced labour practices (for which there is ample evidence), Now Carney says forced labour is a ‘global issue’ with parts of China are ‘at higher risk’. Carney and his finance minister Champagne recently avoided to address the fact that Chinese EV makers BYD has been found to use forced labour in its factories in Hungary and Brazil.
The Canadian military flew seven surveillance missions over waters near China in the past month to enforce North Korean sanctions, but the Department of National Defence is no longer confirming whether Chinese aircraft intercepted those flights, as it has in years past.
These are a few examples. It hurts Canada imho. It can soon hurt Canadians as soon as China attempts to take advantage over its new ‘partnerhips’ by coercing the Canadian government for political gains (there is ample evidence that Beijing has been doing so with other countries in the past).
You may find another term than bowing, but this is what it is imo. It’s certainly true that the US isn’t a reliable partner anymore, but this doesn’t make China better. It’s the dictatorship it has ever been, and as such it is even worse than the US.
Dude…your China Hate volvo socialism is tiring.
You would rather we send farms to default and throw thousands out of work while we find the perfect trading partner that does not exist.
You have to be a complete idiot to think you can trust any country in international trade.
Also, “And this is why he is bowing to China? Are the China ties strength?” is a bot or macro, either way, fuck right off and stay on Facebook.
Thank you for your sophisticated and polite comment.
And this is why he is bowing to China? Are the China ties strength?

If you’re going to make China and Russia your main identity on the platform, at least don’t go lazily copy-pasting the same comment.
(edit to federate my edit, instance issues)
You may have noticed that the post were the same, and I don’t see a reason to make different comments to the same content.
If you’re going to make bullying your main reason on the platform, at least read others’ posts before commenting.
We do read the posts, we have no choice because you spam every thread with China in the title.
This is so PC party intern.
