He finally uttered them

"A new world order."  That's how Carney described his mission during a press conference in China.  He has been trying to hide his true agenda, but it was finally revealed.  And not spontaneously by accident during a scrum.  No, he revealed his true colours off a prepared script.  

Flowers from one dictator to another -- a distraction with beads and baubles, like we did with the Natives.

So we now know -- as if we didn't already -- what his real agenda is.  He is a globalist through-and-through.  No surprise when you consider he has been living in a gilded cage for all of his career, a cage in which people kiss his a-s, agree with everything he says and bear him around in sleek chauffeured limos to red carpets wherever he fancies to traipse.

Pipelines?  Boring.  Canada?  Who cares?

His trip to China produced a commitment to cut tariffs on Chinese EVs.  What did he get in return?  A promise to (maybe) reduce canola tariffs.  I'll believe that when I see it.  I wonder if Scott Moe has a better take on that file?  Probably.

The whole voyage has sorely pissed Trump off, which was dumb.  How's that going to aid the upcoming CUSMA negotiations, which he has already dismissed with a disinterested shrug?  

We're sleepwalking into big trouble.  Trump is not going to stop threatening us with a takeover, just as he is doing with Greenland and Venezuela.  The fanciful, humorous and charming notion of Canada's becoming the 51st state now looks increasingly possible.  I know it still sound crazy, but how could we stop him?

Ah, Carney fiddles in China while Canada trembles in no man's land.
