New World Order
Sorry to be a bit vulgar this morning gentle readers, but what the absolute fuck! I am at a total loss for remembering when a New World Order was on the Liberal election platform last spring. Was it there and I just missed it? I remember elbows up and talk of how Canada was coming back but at no time do I recall Carny speaking of the New World Order he was going to align Canada with.
That I am aware of Carney’s alignment with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum and was or still is a foundation board member. Also five members of his caucus, well now four given the resignation of the tiny perfect ex-minister of finance, it really should be no surprise. Also I have read his book, totally a terrible read, in which he describes his values as being significantly different than the ones he espoused during the election.
So this past week Canada’s Boris Badinoff has been meeting with the Chinese in what has been described to media as an attempt to move Canada away from the Orange Man Bad policies of the United States. We need to diversify from the tyrannical government of the US and turn our fortunes over to the benevolence of the Chinese? In what universe would this ever make sense.
Certainly Canada has a powerful lever to offer the CCP, oil. With the removal of the Venezuelan President and the realignment of their government toward the US, the oil that had been flowing towards China is at risk. History is sign post ere in that when the US restricted Japan’s oil access in the 1940’s we ended up in a pacific war. Certainly not that a European Theatre war was enough.
Today what do we have, a regional conflict in the European Theatre, and a potentially emboldened Asian power looking to shore up its oil needs. Imagine if both Venezuela and Iran shut off the majority of their energy exports to China, what response would there be from the CCP? The world runs on Taiwanese computer chips. Is it impossible to think that China could take over Formosa and lock down all the chips? Not too far fetched an idea.
Canada has vast resources of energy which is shepherded better could provide us with the sovereign wealth that would benefit our citizens while at the same time providing China with the energy they need and may have to become dependent on. This could put Canada into a position of control of which we are rather unfamiliar.
Instead it would appear that Canada is marching down the road of more government command and control of the economy. Examples of the success for this are legion. The economy of Venezuela flourished when the government nationalized the oil industry, right? Successive Argentine governments either military juntas or left wing nut jobs gave the people the most stable currency and lack of inflation the world has ever seen. The success of Cuba is so masterful that, being so plentiful, doctors must supplement their incomes by working as waiters at resort hotels.
The ten years of Trudeaus intervention will seem like the boom years if what Carney outlines in his book are implemented. We must also remember that our Prime Minister was the special envoy on climate action for the UN and he headed up Brookfield’ Transition Fund, a $100 billion venture into alternate energy and renewables. Strangly also nuclear energy with the acquisition of Westinghouse and their engineering expertise building nuclear generators.
At our peak here in Ontario, prior to the McGuinty government’s idea that our electricity should go from the cheapest in North America to the highest, we produced more cars than any other subnational jurisdiction. Today the auto centres of Windsor, St. Thomas, Ingersoll, Oakville, Brampton and Oshawa are either shuttered completely or mostly. The assembly plants in Alliston, Cambridge and Woodstock are still pumping out vehicles although the majority go to the US.
The boondoogle that the move to electric vehicle manufacturing has become is remarkable. Billions and billions of pledged dollars for companies to move their manufacturing of EV’s and the primary components of them to Ontario and Quebec either foregone or wasted.
A brand new factory, a ‘giga-factory’ for light metals sits empty with a large for sale sign on it in Welland. A lithium battery recycling facility being build just south in Port Colborne is still in the process of construction, although my hope that it will open and strengthen the local economy is vanishing. The Markham, Newmarket, Woodbridge triangle has one of the world’s largest auto parts companies with factories scattered across the area. Guelph is home to another huge parts manufacturing business more geared towards heavy equipment than auto.
If the US reacts poorly to the latest of our Prime Minister’s agreement with China, both of these world leading companies could be in peril. That the jobs they have in Ontario will be is assured without a comprehensive autopact agreement in place as it has been for 60 years.
China is not Canada’s saviour. That role belongs only to ourselves. That such a large proportion of Canadians are blinded by Trump Derangement Syndrome only prevents so many from seeing what is plain. That we have an opportunity to regain some of the greatness and mystique of our forebears is within our grasp if we chose. But we have to chose wisely.
We live in a northern climate. We have an abundance of oil and gas and coal. We have huge stores of uranium. We can produce cheap electricity if we chose and if we do not direct that electricity to stupid wasteful uses such as mobility then we could rebuild our manufacturing base by attracting foriegn investment and building new factories. At the same time recognizing that electric automobiles are not a practical solution for a cold climate with great distances between work and home.
Canadian’s need to read Carney’s book. They need to familiarize themselves with the World Economic Forum’s plans and they need to understand what the UN Climate policies that Carney was special envoy of are. Canadians also need to understand Carney’s holdings in Brookfield and then hold up the government’s investment that go to this company. Getting past Trump derangement syndrome is difficult. But if Canadians do not wake up soon to the danger of Carney it will be way too late.
