Q: “Is China really the right kind of partner for Canadian industry?" Joly: "Listen, we've been clear-eyed. We are eyes wide open."

So DJT fears Chinese ships in Greenland while pushing Canada into Xi’s arms. That’s just incredible.

Prime Minister Carney states that the progress made on Canada's partnership with China "sets us up well for the new world order."

Is ICE going to deport Native Americans now? What a bunch of clowns.

Thank you to Premier Li, for the warm welcome to Beijing. Our countries align in many areas, such as clean energy, agriculture, and finance. We focused on how Canada and China can work together to build stronger, more sustainable economies for both our nations.

Danish FM Rasmussen speaks after White House meeting: "For us, ideas that would not respect the territorial of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are of course totally unacceptable. We therefore still have a fundamental disagreement."

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

I’m headed to Beijing. China is our second-largest trading partner, and the world’s second largest economy. A pragmatic and constructive relationship between our nations will create greater stability, security, and prosperity on both sides of the Pacific.

Today I met with their leadership in Prince Rupert to talk about how we can work in partnership to strengthen marine conservation and ocean protection, and to build a stronger and more sustainable economy — for Indigenous Peoples and all Canadians.

Coastal First Nations have stewarded the waters of the B.C. North Coast from time immemorial.

Strong partnerships take time and trust to build. Thank you to the Gitxaala Peoples and the Coastal First Nations for welcoming me. Together, we can protect what matters, create opportunities for Indigenous Peoples, and build a stronger, more sustainable, more resilient Canada.

It was time to build this weekend (with LEGO).   Thanks to Ambassador Harris for the gift. Solidarity with Denmark. 🇨🇦🇩🇰

The EU treaty isn't complicated and is binding on all members to respond yo an attack. The NATO treaty only requires them to 'consider' a response. So the EU treaty may well be more significant than the NATO one - and Trump may not even be aware of it. www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/article...
