Canadian PM Mark Carney has vowed to reduce his country’s reliance on the US by strengthening the economy and inking trade deals with others.

Yeah, if we see this as some sort of satire. You know that China will break any prior agreement as soon as the government thinks it can take advantage over it. What you can expect is coercion at the cost of Canadians.
Having that said, this is not about the US and China. There are other allies for Canada that play by rules of law. You know what to expect from them, and its more and better for Canada than what you can expect from a government like China’s.
I don’t think any of Canada’s allies are global manufacturing hubs on the cutting edge of green technology. Diversification is always a good thing, but especially with US ties a thing of the past there’s no getting around China.
Why should Canada, making the dirtiest oil in the world, care about green technology?
Every barrel of “oil” out of Alberta takes 4 barrels of water and 700 cubic feet of gas. the tailings “ponds” are bigger than most Alberta lakes.
Also, North America punted all our manufacturing to China, then we point fingers at them.
Name one that needs our stuff. We get it, you hate China.
Carney’s job is to open markets for CDN good and crops. Ineffectual wankers can tighten their manbuns and type about the perfect trade partner, but things need to actually happen or the economy suffers.
Those who are complicit with multiple genocides and having puppet dictatorship in africa?
