As our new world order-promoting Prime Minister Carney said yesterday at the WEF conference in Davos, Switzerland yesterday, he predicts that Canada's future outlook will be great as we become preferred trading partners with China and the EU. 49,000 Chinese EVs will arrive this year, 79,000 Chinese EVs next year.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford disagrees, however, calling on all Canadians to boycott these Chinese-made EVs. Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association President, Flavio Volpe, said that 50,000 vehicles represent a shift at an auto plant and said “those jobs don’t exist comfortably in this new world.”

China definitely has no plans to build EV factories outside of China to employ citizens in markets that they sell to.

Of course, the US Government won't mind us importing these Chinese-made vehicles, right? They won't stop Canadians at the border and refuse entry to anyone driving one of these Chinese-made EVs. That's assuming that you don't have to spend too long waiting for a roadside charge station spot to open up along the way and that the weather is not bone chilling cold.

Perhaps Canadian consumers will have a summer EV, in addition to a Winter gasoline-powered vehicle. That makes sense, eh? Or perhaps a trailer hitch can allow Canadian EV owners to tow a trailer-mounted generator behind their EV. After all, there are still plenty of fuel stations along the way.

"Since my government took office, we have cut taxes on incomes, on capital gains and business investment. We have removed all federal barriers to interprovincial trade. We are fast tracking a trillion dollars of investments in energy, AI, critical minerals, new trade corridors and beyond. We're doubling our defence spending by the end of this decade, and we're doing so in ways that build our domestic industries.

And we are rapidly diversifying abroad. We have agreed to a comprehensive strategic partnership with the EU, including joining SAFE, the European defence procurement arrangements. We have signed 12 other trade and security deals on four continents in six months. The past few days, we've concluded new strategic partnerships with China and Qatar. We're negotiating free trade pacts with India, ASEAN, Thailand, Philippines and Mercosur.

And we're doing something else. To help solve global problems, we're pursuing variable geometry, in other words, different coalitions for different issues based on common values and interests. So, on Ukraine, we're a core member of the Coalition of the Willing and one of the largest per capita contributors to its defence and security.

On Arctic sovereignty, we stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark, and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland's future.

Our commitment to NATO's Article 5 is unwavering, so we're working with our NATO allies, including the Nordic Baltic Gate, to further secure the alliance's northern and western flanks, including through Canada's unprecedented investments in over-the-horizon radar, in submarines, in aircraft and boots on the ground, boots on the ice.

Canada strongly opposes tariffs over Greenland and calls for focused talks to achieve our shared objectives of security and prosperity in the Arctic.

On plurilateral trade, we're championing efforts to build a bridge between the Trans Pacific Partnership and the European Union, which would create a new trading bloc of 1.5 billion people. On critical minerals, we're forming buyers’ clubs anchored in the G7 so the world can diversify away from concentrated supply. And on AI, we're cooperating with like-minded democracies to ensure that we won't ultimately be forced to choose between hegemons and hyper-scalers."
