    Just three years after Canada called China a “disruptive global power,” Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says Canada now views Beijing as a strategic partner in a dangerous world.

    “We must be nuanced in our diplomacy. We must stress our concerns relating to security and public safety on the one hand, and we must seek to build additional supply chains on the other. That is pragmatism,” she said.

    A much welcomed change given the US has tanked multiple parts of our economy within less than 9 months of this presidency. And strategic partnership is the right approach. We could also use this as leverage in our negotiations with the US. That is if negotiations resume after the abrupt bullshit Mango Mussolini pulled today.

    Can’t make this shit up:

      We can’t trust any negotiations we make with him long term anyways.

      Quite frankly, in the absolute best case scenario, we have to hunker down, diversify trade, bolster our support systems, and hope to high heavens that our neighbours start back taking their lithium.
