The idea of a musketeer arrangement with other like-minded countries when dealing with China might appeal to our theatrical prime minister.
Nagy told MPs on a parliamentary committee that Canada needs to think seriously about enhanced co-operation with other middle powers when dealing with China, and that they should collectively lobby the United States to adopt a more multilateral approach. Nagy suggested any such agreements that included rules-based countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand would offer symmetry to engagement with China and counter its “asymmetric advantages.”
The lessons for Canada of the pandemic include the need to diversify supplies of personal protective equipment, medical devices and certain pharmaceuticals, said Nagy. This “selective de-coupling” from China offers opportunities for increased co-operating with like-minded countries in the Indo-Pacific region, he said.
But Nagy defended the Liberal government’s investment in the bank. “There is an important saying, ‘if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.’ Any participation means Canadian values and interests are represented,” he said. Nagy suggested bilateral tensions may also be exacerbated by Chinese intimidation in Taiwan and Hong Kong. He said Taiwan has managed COVID well and held a successful election that will increase pressure in Beijing to “reunify” Taiwan to the Chinese mainland. In Hong Kong, he said he expects the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre on June 4 to prompt huge protests in the territory.
How about US intimidation on NordStream 2 amongst a myriad of other examples? Wonder what the Turks would have to say.
Fuck China
We have none

How Canada has bungled the COVID-19 endgame - Macleans.caAmir Attaran: Canada is mismanaging its most significant peacetime crisis in a century and the seeds of our failure are everywhere. Here are four things that must change. If Attaran has some solutions to provincialism I'd like to hear them. Yes, we need a National healthcare system. Yes, we need more coordinated national systems. But I don't see the Provinces giving up control any time soon. Quite the opposite. ON, AB and PQ are digging in. Why do you publish garbage? PM Trudeau may not be perfect but he's light years ahead of anything the other parties would do. We should be grateful he is our PM. Bungled? Where in the world would you rather be living right now?
