Geez, a wannabe Prime Minister of a country and you like the fact he is not internationally aware??? The conservatives themselves have portrayed themselves as scary ....they have nothing to offer...4 elections lost and 3 leaders defeated and the conservatives will most likely keep the leader that has lost twice and even lost his own seat. How could Canadians look at the conservatives as leading the country??? The injury to the conservatives are self inflicted wounds.

Consistent at what??? What has PP done? Besides complain? What can PP do? He cannot even leave the country to find out what is actually happening in the world. There is no world leader wanting to speak with him. Face it, PP is a zero, a nobody on the world stage.

Per capita?? What does that imply or even mean? And your basis of "a step above 3rd world" means what and what proof do you have of that?? And your claim of "their people do not have anywhere near the average quality of life of a Canadian. " is based on what proof?? "China provides significant social welfare, achieving near-universal basic health insurance and expanding elder care, yet faces challenges with system strain, urban-rural disparities, and severe human rights issues like suppressed freedoms" ": China has built a system with near-universal basic health coverage, financing it through taxes and subsidies, greatly improving access, especially for the poor, though it faces funding pressures and cost-sharing issues. Poverty Reduction: Significant strides have been made in poverty alleviation, with extensive programs ensuring basic needs and medical care for impoverished populations. Elder Care: Policies focus on a blend of home, community, and institutional care, aiming to support the elderly, though traditional family support remains crucial" How is our poverty reduction or elder care working???? Seems that you "live in purposeful ignorance" and just make unsubstantiated claims? I hate to even try to defend a dictatorship like China but what I hate even more is people making statements without merit.

What is said is one thing...what is reality is another. China is the worlds 3rd largest county (0.2% smaller than Canada). China's population is around 1.4 billion people That is a lot of people and a lot of land and being the worlds largest economy....something must be working well. Bottom line, China is doing very well and Carney dealing with them is a good idea.

I asked you to prove your statement. You have only said they are in a search somewhere...you did not provide anything except say "Search Assist". It is your statement to defend, not mine to research. Nope, not offended in any way....you can take them in any way you wish. I read what oil executives purportedly said. I take them seeing a critic being upset because they are not getting their way. You are correct, "not Happening"...the oil execs may have complained but they are not going to do anything unless someone else pays for it...

Carney is the Prime Minster of Canada. It is his responsibility and obligation to present Canada to the World...and he is doing that. Yes he is gracious and is well received in all the countries he has visited. He has been good for Canada and has not been obnoxious to anyone. He has put Canada in a good light everywhere he has gone. Kudos to his efforts.

I think the EV stuff is just show business... all show no go. EV sales have plummeted. We are not interested. Plants are shutting down or slowing down. Ye, there may be a surge because there are always those that jump on new bandwagons but, Canada is not into EV's. I think opening up the EV imports was a very wise thing to do. China has a huge effort to sell EV's in Canada. Lots of work for Canadians in building and manning dealerships and all the infrastructure, supply chain and logistics needed to sell their EV's. In the meantime, we get to sell our agricultural and aquacultural products back to where it is beneficial for Canadians. There are far more workers in those areas of the country than auto workers in Ontario.

I asked you as you are quick to make statements without proof. Fact is, regulations have been lessened. Impact on competitiveness seems like a problem amongst the oil producers...not government. They need to sort themselves out LOL Uncertain approvals?? Well, if they were to make proposals and plans...then the MOU that was recently signed would very quickly be approved. I did have a look at the Bill and saw no additional regulations or laws. The big addition was that the indigenous were added to the mix. Overall, the oil and gas executives were upset because it put responsibility upon them and their finances...and out of government funding. In essence put up or shut up LOL

Cons to Debate Things Normal Canadians like

"In Canada, it is generally not allowed for job applications to ask for personal information regarding race, gender, or other protected characteristics. Such questions are prohibited because they can directly or indirectly lead to discrimination in the hiring process, violating human rights laws like the Canadian Human Rights Act and provincial human rights code" "Prohibited Topics Employers should not ask about the following in job applications or interviews: Race, Colour, Ancestry, or Ethnic Origin: Questions about your ethnic background, where you are from, or the origin of your name. Sex, Gender Identity, or Gender Expression: Questions asking if you are male/female, your gender identity, or your pronouns. Marital or Family Status: Whether you are married, divorced, or have children (including questions about future family plans). Age: Asking for your age or date of birth. Religion/Creed: What religion you practice or if you observe certain holidays." -

Get over your idi0cy LOSER. -
China has been involved in industrial espionage for many decades all over the world... as has the US, Russia and many other countries (probably Canada too). Warnings from security services from all countries are the same... that is what they do. Who said China is our best friend? And where? And when??? Your imagination runs wild again and you continue to make $hit up LOL

When and where did Carney "stated that oil 'should stay in the ground'."??? This Bill???? "Bill C-69 refers to different Canadian federal bills, most notably the landmark 2019 Impact Assessment Act (IAA) that overhauled environmental reviews and created the Canadian Energy Regulator (CER) for major projects. More recently, a 2024 Bill C-69 implemented budget measures, including tax changes for Indigenous settlements, firefighter credits, and a global minimum tax for corporations, showing that C-69 numbers are reused for new legislation" " Replaced the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (2012) with the new Impact Assessment Act (IAA) and established the Canadian Energy Regulator (CER), replacing the National Energy Board (NEB). Key Changes: Required federal assessment of environmental, social, and economic impacts, including climate change effects, for major projects. Strengthened Indigenous and public participation in reviews. Created the CER with broader scope and mandate for energy projects."

You have this compulsion to respond. What a LOSER you are Here I am again...tap dancing in your head LOSER LOL LOL LOL

BYD has to build and develop an entire infrastructure...dealerships, repair facilities, training techs and sales as well as a supply and logistics chain. It ain't gonna happen overnight and will take years. Besides...EV's are not exactly sales leaders anywhere Don't panic folks.. it ain't the end of the automotive world LOL The EU is not affected. "Canada generally does not place extra tariffs on EU cars; in fact, the Canada-EU Trade Agreement (CETA) significantly reduces or eliminates tariffs, though some phase-outs for vehicles occurred over time, meaning most EU-made cars now enter Canada with little to no extra duties beyond standard customs,"
-
OK...we get electric cars The US is pi$$ed off but who cares. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/us-says-canadas-decision-allow-164752253.html We got a deal so you can stop whining now LOL "By March 1st, 2026, Canada expects that China will lower tariffs on Canadian canola seed to a combined rate of approximately 15%" https://www.reuters.com/world/china/canada-china-set-make-historic-gains-new-partnership-says-carney-2026-01-16/

Meh...I'm still in your head tap dancing away another useless ego feeding post from a LOSER LOL LOL LOL

What would they differ on??? We had no way to get the oil to the ports so, any country that wanted it would not get it What anti oil stance?? We have never shut down any production and all the oil we produced we sold...primarily to the US. Do other countries concern themselves over our poor human rights violations against our indigenous?? (United Nations (UN) human rights bodies and special rapporteurs have frequently stated that Canada has treated its Indigenous peoples poorly and that their human rights situation has reached "crisis proportions) It is Trumps "New World Order", not Carney's. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/08/trump-new-world-order-chaos-falling-ratings Bottom line is we are sellers and we need buyers. As I asked you before, as a seller, would you vet your buyers and not sell to them because pf your philosophical position or do you need the money to keep your people working and sell it to whomever has the money?
-
But interference from the US is OK? From Russia it's OK? Shielding from outside...Like the US is trying to do is OK?? We cannot become isolated.
-
So what??? Geopolitics change regularly. Yesterday we hated Russia. Do you vet your buyers??? Or do you want to sell? Again, you are incorrect in your interpretation. I am say we need customers for our products and resources and if the US, which were and still are our biggest clients, are giving us trouble, we have every right to look for others. Should we discriminate or do what is best for our Canadian producers and exporters?
