Never said Canada was in a vacuum and neither did Carney. As a matter of fact, he emphasized that it was not and Canada is fully aware of the new reality. I am not sure how you mean that we are tone deaf to Trumpism? Our PM is out there in the world drumming up business and making new and renewed trade partners as a result to Trumpian threats. You need to move on to today and the future as your personal biases seem to affect your reasoning and reality. No insult intended but your posts often relate to the past , political and religious expectations, MAID and drugs, as well as anti LGBTQ bias. As Carney said just yesterday in a speech and indicated he is advancing our economy and culture and defence.

HA HA HA When you are outed for being stoopid about the topic... all you can do is insult. HA HA HA What a LOSER...you were and are wrong...suck it up LOSER LOL LOL LOL Here, learn something about H3 Nuclear Fusion: Helium-3 is considered a promising fuel for nuclear fusion reactions. When used in fusion, it produces energy without the dangerous neutron flux and long-lived radioactive waste associated with traditional nuclear fission. This makes it an attractive option for clean energy production. 2 Scientific Research: Helium-3 is used in various scientific applications, including cryogenics and as a tracer in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging.

Making deals to know how and when and what the Chinese are doing.... a lot closer than a month ago.

Yup, because everything you have had to say is foolish, uniformed and just plain stupid even when it is proved you are wrong. If ever anything deserved down votes...it is your responses to this topic. "It is not currently used for commercial energy production. It is, however, used in research, and its potential application is in advanced fusion reactors." When H3 has been used and proven to be able to produce fusion....then and only then it has greenie potential. "While ideal on paper, " H 3cubed He3 is rare on Earth. It is mostly found on the Moon, where it has been deposited by solar winds over billions of years, prompting discussions about lunar mining." Oh and I love it when you rightie tighties hate being down voted...ruffles your feathers and hurts your feelings LOL

I think Canada was an enemy to Trump before Carney was around. Trudeau made him hate us the first time around and it has never diminished. And, Carney is there always saying he is willing to talk....making Trump be silent. The last time Trump crapped on Canada was during the Ford commercial stunt. He even said what Carney did with China was good. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-signals-approval-canada-china-160109095.html

While skepticism should be part of this situation, I cannot agree that we (Canada) are in any way or do have reliance on China. We are dealing with China (as we had in the past) because of the situation the US has put us in. We will most likely not have the US as reliable partner in trade any more so it is imperative we strike up relationships with other nations to ensure we remain viable and can survive in this world. When it comes to China we can fir sure say "been the done that" and learn from out past. So, knowing them is far better than trying to start a new situation.

I am not sure where you hear or see the "rise of populism and cynicism about globalism"? Are you implying the WEF is encouraging the collapse of birth rates? Or expecting "other rising powers"? What I heard is Carney addressing the current situation and expressing issues that seem to be caused by one individual (faintly disguised). I am quite certain that he did not address Canadian naivety. He was very statemanly about it all....and very well received.

Sending data to China??? Letting them know how many times you go to the store? Or to your Moms house? Your driving habits??? The Horror !! LOL Maybe if you buy them for your Military, their tracking systems can tell where you are but seriously? Are you concerned about OnStar on GM vehicles or the equivalent on many other vehicles??? They do the same thing. I mean, insurance companies want to sell you a crash device so they know if you crash. All phones have tracking capability.

Thanks to Trump...... times and things have dramatically changed. As some wise person said..."Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer""

Our plight?? Seems to me that was what the speech was about...the plight of the world as a result of a tyrant. The almost world wide accolades for Carney and his speech is nice to see.

Duhhh you are aware that BrightDrop is shut down?? Yes...I linked but I also added "CANCELLED , PLANT CLOSED!!!!" Guess you could not read tghat far LOL LOL LOL "Yet again you take the time to prove me right. " LOSER LOL LOL LOL "General Motors (GM) ended production of its BrightDrop electric delivery vans at the CAMI Assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, in October 2025" https://news.gm.ca/en/home.detail.html/Pages/news/ca/en/2025/oct/1021_gm-ends-production-of-brightdrop.html https://www.unifor.org/news/all-news/gm-brightdrop-cancellation-cami-latest-trump-policy-casualty And the LOSER has another epic FAIL!!!! LOL LOL LOL

Well, by pure definition, the US, more Trump than the US, has become a true hegemonic state now. My way or I will punish you.... The US tried to push its way but was tempered by NATO and the UN primarily (and congress and senate as well) Trump does does it his way or get out of the way.

The not so new is that China has quietly been the "Next One" in most economic matters for quite a while now. The one that actually is a "hegemonic state" is the USA and it is the one seemingly pushing for the "New World Order". While there is concern about China...we forget that for a year now the USA (nee Trump) has been the one imposing tariffs and making threats of takeovers if any country opposes his will. His way or the tariff way. The pure definition of "hegemonic state" describes the United States at this time. "A hegemonic state is a dominant country that holds unparalleled military, economic, and political power, shaping the global or regional order by setting rules, providing security, and influencing others through both coercion and consent (ideological leadership),"

You don't. Sorry I asked.

Canada is actively manufacturing electric vehicles (EVs) and is currently undergoing a significant transition to become a major hub for the entire EV supply chain. As of early 2026, several major automakers have either started production or are in the final stages of retooling their Canadian facilities: Active and Upcoming EV Production General Motors (Ingersoll, Ont.): Home to Canada’s first full-scale EV plant (CAMI Assembly), which currently manufactures BrightDrop electric delivery vans. CANCELLED , PLANT CLOSED!!!! Stellantis (Windsor, Ont.): Production is beginning for the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona, the company's first Canadian-made EV mandate. CANCELLED PLANT Closed Honda (Alliston, Ont.): Retooling is underway for a major $15-billion project to build both EVs and batteries, with production expected to scale up through 2026. NOT YET IN PRODUCTION !!! Ford (Oakville, Ont.): While undergoing a major $1.8-billion transition to an EV hub, production start dates were recently shifted to 2027 to align with market demand. FORD AS NOT YET BEGUN and MAY NOT Volkswagen (St. Thomas, Ont.): Constructing a massive gigafactory for EV batteries, with production expected to begin by 2027. SAYS SO BUT NOT YET BEGUN The Battery Supply Chain Canada has recently been ranked as a global leader in the EV battery supply chain. Key projects include: Northvolt (Montreal, Que.): A $7-billion battery gigafactory scheduled to begin operations by the end of 2026. NOT YET BUILT Umicore (Loyalist Township, Ont.): A facility dedicated to building critical battery components. NOT YET MANUFACTURING GM and POSCO (Bécancour, Que.): A joint venture plant for cathode materials expected to be operational in 2025/2026. STILL A VENTURE You forgot to add this: AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses

Typical confux...always the LOSER LOL LOL LOL Yeah sure....LOSER LOL LOL LOL

I agree with everything you say except "we are all going to be despised internationally and no longer safe when traveling to other countries". We will be safe and we will be respected and can safely travel anywhere except for maybe American controlled places.

I do have a point and it is that American auto makers are already and have been cutting jobs and closing plants in Ontario. Also, we do not make EV's in Canada and Brightdrop plant closed...killing 1000 jobs Nope, they were never coming back regardless if we brought in Chinese vehicles or not. Trump has threatened the automakers and does not care about Canada or Mexico and yes, there will be more closures and that is anticipated no matter if we bring in Chinese vehicles or not. Carney helped farmers and fishermen in Canada which are greater numbers than the auto sector in Ontario. Seems it is you that does not get it.

Yup...typical confux...insulting and demeaning and narrow minded. Fully expected from a LOSER When the first paragraph is all insult..if there is more, it goes unread.. LOSER!!!! LOL LOL LOL

Huh??? Russia? By 10??? Who cares and why should we care what Americans think?? The auto sector is big in Ontario but the agriculture sector is bigger in the remainder of Canada and the aquaculture sector is also huge in Canada. Canada is not just Ontario.

Not sure your definition of a "frontman" is? A leader? The puppet or the man actually in charge? In control or being controlled? Nope and as I said "It seems to me that all politicians surround themselves with like minded people? We were talking about a person as opposed to a country.

That is all I asked...are you for or against Trump. I found your post confusing. I did not berate or attack you.

Last time he was prez, he surrounded himself with bootlickers as well except then, those bootlickers saw through him and either quit or argued with him and got fired. This time, he surrounded himself with booltickers that he has something over them. (dirty pictures or other incriminating evidence/intelligence) It seems to me that all politicians surround themselves with like minded people.

Confused if you are pro Trump or anti trump or don't care Trump. As I recall, he never threatened NATO allies, only said he wanted Greenland. Trump just posted an email telling the PM of Denmark that he is doing this because they would not give him the Nobel Peace Prize. This has nothing to do with politics or threats...it is because he is pissed that his ego was not satisfied. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/norwegian-leader-says-he-received-trump-message-that-reportedly-ties-greenland-to-nobel-peace-prize Also, Greenland has been the point of numerous NATO exercises and can be again.

Tap, tap tap...I am dancing in your head as usual LOSER LOL Awww the LOSER is upset with little down arrows LOL LOL LOL Fact is, nope.... don't have to look for your useless posts...you keep putting them up LOL LOL LOL Seems you are so obsessed with me and that obsession always makes you go off topic and so you keep posting to me and that makes you derail your own thread ....what a LOSER !!! HA HA HA
