Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa

Important to note regarding Mark Carney’s renewal of a law enforcement agreement with China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS):

A document from August of 2023 states that the RCMP did not want to renew the agreement with the MPS after it expired.

“While the RCMP continues to seek ways to mitigate and navigate the current reality of the Canada-China bilateral relationship, in order to progress on law enforcement issues of mutual concern, it does not envision renewing its expired Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) in the immediate future.”

A Speech In Davos

Turns out, cheap talk has a price;

On Monday morning, the Pentagon’s senior defense strategist suspended the oldest bilateral defense institution in North American history and pointed the announcement at Mark Carney’s Davos speech — a four-month-old address the Canadian prime minister’s admirers had called Churchillian, and that Washington now treats as a case study in the gap between rhetoric and reality.

Elbridge Colby, Under Secretary of War for Policy and the principal architect of American defense strategy under the Trump administration, announced that the Department of War is pausing the Permanent Joint Board on Defense to “reassess how this forum benefits shared North American defense.” The board was established by Franklin Roosevelt and Mackenzie King at Ogdensburg, New York in 1940 and has operated continuously for 86 years.

“A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all,” Colby wrote. “Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments.” In a subsequent post, Colby attached a map of North America and wrote that “delivering on shared continental defense begins by recognizing our shared geography.” A third post revealed that Colby had recently hosted US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra at the Pentagon, and that the two are “working closely” to ensure Canada reaches the Hague Summit’s 3.5% of gross domestic product defense spending target.

The implications for Canada are potentially generational.

Stiff Upper Elbows, Mate

Toronto Sun;

Canada’s auto industry, based largely in Ontario, could disappear by 2040 unless the country regains duty-free access to the U.S. market or finds other ways to keep the sector afloat, one of Canada’s biggest banks warns.

At an industry conference in Toronto focused on the auto sector’s future, RBC Thought Leadership managing director Jordan Brennan said industry leaders and governments must do what they can to avoid the worst-case scenario.

“It’s the scenario where Canada is being heavily tariffed, customs are unviable, and export economics are dead. What does that look like in practice? Governments have to subsidize the industry to the point where it becomes politically unpeaceful,” Brennan said.

Blacklocks;

The Mounties will not assure MPs a confidential partnership agreement with Chinese police signed by the Prime Minister excludes “transfer of personal information of Canadians or permanent residents,” records show. Pro-democracy activists cite Chinese police for atrocities including torture: “Police routinely arrest, detain and harass leaders and members of various ‘illegal’ religious groups.”

Indeed: In America, a mayor gets charged for acting as a Chinese spy for the CCP. In Canada, we get twelve panels, three experts, and a CBC segment about “Racism & Xenophobia” and the RCMP doing ongoing investigations until everyone forgets!

New Governor, Same As The Old Governor

Western Standard;

Retired Lt. Colonel David Redman, former head of Alberta’s emergency management, has accused federal authorities of the intentional erosion of Canada’s national security apparatus over the past 11 years.

“To go from calling China the largest strategic threat to Canada one year ago and now calling it a very significant strategic partner is a completely intentional act. You can’t say it’s not. And so from my point of view, each of the steps in the degradation of Canada’s 10 elements of national security have been thought through and are intentional.”

Speaking on the Hannaford show, Redman outlined the “purposeful destruction” of agencies responsible for geopolitical analysis, intelligence services, border controls, immigration policy, and policing. He argued this was not the result of negligence or misplaced priorities under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, but deliberate acts aimed at weakening national unity and validating the prime minister’s understanding of Canada as a “post-national state.”

He said they have been “intentionally destroyed or reduced in capability,” to erode Canada’s ability to defend its culture, values, and sovereignty. Redman drew parallels to policies under Pierre Elliott Trudeau, suggesting his son continues a similar agenda by prioritizing global interests over national ones.

“When you bring in people who do not share your common interests and values,” he said, “it’s an intentional act to break the unity.”

“Wow. So it looks like the Davos speech was all a big illusion.”

Update…

Pardon, Not Sorry

The Board of Directors of Air Canada today announced…

… that Michael Rousseau has informed the Board that he will retire by the end of the third quarter of 2026, after nearly two decades of strong and dedicated leadership that has reinforced Air Canada’s place as a leader in the airline industry domestically and globally. Mr. Rousseau will continue to lead the company and to serve on its Board until that time.

In today’s other “learn who rules over you” news, Ma Wing-tsung all good.
