Running off to kiss Xi's ring in the hopes they'll pick up the oil that will be displaced by Venezuelan oil coming to market legally.

Xi is going to make Carney is lap dog and bend Canada over backwards.

I’m headed to Beijing.

They do have a set of pipelines to Victoria that is going (or gone) through an expansion to tripple the volume to ~900,000 barrels a day. That's a lot but I'm not sure that it will be enough to offset what's likely to be a significant disadvantage for Canada if Venezuela comes back online. I understand that it's $10-15/bbl cheaper to transport it via ship to the Gulf than to pipe it from Canada.

Lol

This is like Nebraska meeting with China

You are correct as The numbers are roughly

75% of canadas exports go to usa
3-5% of canadas exports go to China

15-20% of those overall exports is oil with usa taking 95% of that

so yeah by usa shutting down canadas oil it affects about 15% of their overall exports if only the usa could make cars and car parts we could shut down another 15% of their economy

Carney has long been a Chinese stooge, really nothing more than a puppet, something I'd like to think Trump's team has been well aware of.

OTTAWA, Canada A review of corporate documents reveals that Brookfieldthe influential $900 billion Canadian investment fund from which Liberal Prime Minister-to-be Mark Carney stepped away from in order to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada's leadermaintains over $3 billion in politically sensitive investments with Chinese state-linked real estate and energy companies, along with a substantial offshore banking presence. One of its major real estate ventures, a $750 million entry into high-end Shanghai commercial property in 2013, involved a Hong Kong tycoon affiliated with the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)which the CIA labels a central "united front" entity of Beijing.

That one above is paid but note the Canadians knew all of this when they voted for him.

Quote:

On September 9, 2024, former prime minister Justin Trudeau named Carneythe chair of a task force on economic growth.

The following month, Carney met with the deputy director of the People's Bank of China, according to Poilievre and a Chinese-language news article he cited in his post. Then, a few weeks later, Brookfield allegedly secured a $250 million loan from a Chinese state-owned bank.

The Conservatives previously demanded that Carney reveal his Brookfield stock options to Canadians, accusing the Liberal leader of raking in millions from his past business.

Carney subsequently admitted to potential conflicts of interest, saying that he would "probably" have to recuse himself from decisions on some files.

Imagine if Trump had been campaigning for office and it was publicly known he had Chinese stock investments and owed a CCP bank a quarter billion dollars. The hilarity of the news coverage is more than my feeble mind can even envision.

I'm sure Xi is shaking in his boots having to negotiate with this tough guy from the West. Oh wait, you said the Canadian PM not Trump.

What about all of the climate change talk that the Canadian leftist government spouts? Is China the exemption?

The CCP has for decades pushed their leftist allies/puppets in the "West" to support economically crippling 'climate change' policies. Notice the Democrat party far and wide embraces this lunacy, not just for the graft, but because it is an article of faith the CCP has pushed them to believe.

I don't really care about Canada, which is a one-party state which will be hopeless for Canadians to reclaim short of a revolution, but we need to clamp down on their efforts here, something that didn't really happen in 2025:

A new report from State Armor, an activist group critical of the CCP, details the activities of Energy Foundation China, a San Francisco-based nonprofit controlled by CCP members that supports climate research and activist organizations, and attempts to cultivate influence among public officials.

"Our report exposes how Energy Foundation China functions not as an independent nonprofit, but as a vehicle advancing the strategic interests of the Chinese Communist Party by funding U.S. green energy initiatives to shift American supply chains toward Beijing and undermine our energy security. Policymakers must act," said State Armor CEO Michael Lucci.

Energy Foundation China's campaign to promote green energy was the subject of a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing Wednesday afternoon where witnesses spoke about China's activities and how to combat them. The hearing also focused on climate lawfare, the attempt by left-wingers to enact preferred environmental policy through onerous litigation and sweeping blue-state laws.

One of the hearing witnesses, Capital Research Center president Scott Walter, detailed how foreign billionaires are pouring millions worth of funding into the American left, including Public Citizen, the organization headed by Democratic witness David Arkush. Hanjorg Wyss, a Swiss billionaire accused of sexual misconduct, has put over $500 million into progressive causes with a focus on environmentalist organizations.

When peepaw's administration gave billions to a brand new Stacey Abram's NGO for 'green' bs in January 12 months ago, I think some Americans recognized it for what it was. Of course, these groups bleed money into academia as well.

I'd argue that the average Canadian did not know or understand all this when voting for Carney. Unless you live and are immersed within the controlled media, it is impossible to understand how curated the political information is there.

Similar to the US in the past before people started waking up in by the millions. Just far more pervasive.

Honestly, I have very smart friends and family members that in most aspects of their lives seem to be thoughtful, common sense, "conservatives", like most Texans I know. Then come politics and it's like they're schizo. Critical thought is non existent.

Covid, Trudeau reelections, Carney, climate change, our economy being destroyed, the insane rising cost of living, the fact kids have no hope for home ownership, exponential rise in crime and drug use, tent cities…

Somehow, these successful, "normal" folks just can't see or acknowledge these disasters. The ONLY thing I can come up with is our elections are not legit and/or the population is continually gaslit on an epic scale.

What's he supposed to say, "I'm off to China. **** those guys."? China is their second largest trading partner. They can't afford to not do business with them.

I have read rumors in the past of Canadian cooperation with China on a military front under Trudeau. Carney better not be playing footsie with our main rival in anything other than an above-board, economic manner. He's a globalist snake and needs to commit suicide by shooting himself in the back or hanging himself from a doorknob.

Good. He's a freaking idiot.

Canada could quickly become a new overseas colony for Red China.

Canadian oil isn't competitive in the global market because of all the regs and restrictions their enviromarxists place on it.

Maybe they're hoping China is desperate enough that they'll buy Canadian oil at the over market prices Canuck wants to sell it for buuuuut I'm betting not. The irony would be that they abandon their idiocy to sell cheap to china when if they could sell for that same price the US would buy all their oil since it's even cheaper to ship it here than across the pacific

That and of course if Commie Canada gets too cozy with commie China then regime change will come knocking in the middle of the night

It's like Canada (and all the British and commonwealth nations) evaluate options and choose based on the worst possible outcome.

Arguably, British Columbia already is.

Like the famous question, how would America look if it was settled from the west. BC is being settled from Asian, first a massive move from loyal Hong Kongers. Now rich Chinese looking to launder their money out of China. The Canadian gov't allowed the CCP to set up a police force in BC to investigate Chinese dissidents and I presume take them back.

So the only real pipeline we have is to Houston. Another was announced to run down Alberta and across thur to processing and port in Washington state because BC will not allow a pipeline thru their land.

Somehow, we don't have a pipeline east either, where 2/3 of the people and industry are. Quebec won't allow it which apparently means it's not viable to just service Ontario.

We may be the dumbest country on earth. Per capital we have more resource wealth than any other population on earth. 1990's we were basically the richest population on earth. Now everyone is living day to day.

You may be right, I just give credit to people knowing, even following the 'company line' but Fauci flu probably proved your view more likely correct than mine.

BEIJING — Mark Carney arrived in China today seeking closer ties, but President Xi Jinping did not appear, send a greeting, or publicly acknowledge the visit. The muted reception underscored an uncomfortable reality: Beijing sees Canada as useful, not important.

Not following this. Care to elucidate?

Carney does not get it for he is just a pawn being used by China against us.

I am sure that Trump is keeping an eye in developments and possibly a reason why he has stepped up his rhetoric on Greenland.

Brookfield engages in a bunch of shady practices.

I don't think that's what this means.

This is a click bait headline. I think what happened was Xi wasn't at the airport to receive Carney.
It doesn't mean that Carney won't have talks with Xi.
In some countries, it is standard protocol to NEVER have their premier greet another at the airport. Everyone will make an exception for POTUS of course.

China is making it clear that Carney is not an equal. It would below Xi to receive Carney at the airport
Xi will almost certainly meet with Carney. After all, he is looking for useful idiots in their war against America. And Carney is up there.

Carney is also going there at the same time Brookfield execs are, which he is personally invested in in a large way. There is an ulterior motive. US politicians insider trade, Canadian politicians line their pockets via corruptionhttps://t.co/kzLMM2dnDc

I think Carney is mainly interested in Brookfield while there, not Canada.
