OTTAWA/WASHINGTON — Canada has the resources to strengthen Western energy security, generate enormous wealth and help shield its allies from overseas crises. Instead, energy scholar Brenda Shaffer argues, it is constraining its own production while deepening its dependence on China.
If the Carney government truly wanted to save the Stellantis plant in Brampton, it would be spending more time focused on Washington, D.C.
Canada’s entire auto industry relies on access to the American market, and for nearly two years that access has been in doubt.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he will privately raise Canada’s concerns about China’s interference in our democracy during his next meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, but Canadians have every right to be skeptical about what he will say.
Carney is working for Beijing.
Hey Carney, WE ALL HEARD what you said about the United States being a bigger threat than China.
We heard it.
And I will make sure nobody forgets.
You have caused Canada to become a national security threat to the Unites States of America. https://t.co/4CgIFTafpE

OTTAWA — In several days, I will stand on Kinmen Island, a small Taiwanese outpost off the coast of mainland China, to assess the growing danger of a military attack ordered by Xi Jinping.
From Kinmen, the threat is visible.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said he will tell Chinese President Xi Jinping when they meet privately next week that foreigners shouldn’t interfere in Canadian affairs.
He made the comments on Tuesday as he prepares for a meeting with Mr. Xi next week at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen. It will be Mr. Carney’s second visit to China since taking office.
There is little reason to trust Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government when it comes to investigating security threats against Canada by China.
The latest allegations come in an updated report by Safeguard Defenders, a Spanish human rights non-governmental organization, that says 1,247 Chinese associations in 91 countries — including 18 in Canada — are fronts for illegal domestic police stations.
OTTAWA — An explosive report from Britain’s Mail on Sunday alleges that a man it describes as a senior Chinese intelligence officer, and a British businessman indicted with him in the United States over a plot to silence a Los Angeles critic of Xi Jinping, sought damaging information on seven British parliamentarians who have challenged Beijing.
This is the Daily Mail piece referenced in the article.
British businessman accused of spying for China tried to hire former Met Police detective to dig up intelligence on top MPs who were critical of Beijing
China is operating more than a dozen policing and judicial offices through liaison points in Canada, according to a report by the human rights organization Safeguard Defenders.
The report, entitled “A Formula for Repression: China’s Global Grid for Community Control,” details 1,247 liaison points worldwide where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) monitors the Chinese diaspora, gathers intelligence, suppresses dissent, and aids Chinese judicial authorities and law enforcement.
“Far from closing, the evidence shows expansion,” the report says of overseas liaison and policing facilities that were first widely exposed in 2022.
OTTAWA — Four years ago, Laura Harth exposed more than 100 secret Chinese police stations operating across the democratic world, three of them in the Greater Toronto Area. Working independently, The Bureau later tied one of those Toronto-area sites, a Markham address under RCMP investigation, to a man linked to methamphetamine investigations in Japan, whom Tokyo police had also sought to question in an unsolved triple murder.
Harth’s research also led the FBI to a Manhattan storefront.
A leading China analyst is raising concerns over the absence of any direct mention of China in Ottawa’s new national security strategy, saying the omission may reflect the government’s reluctance to speak critically about Beijing.
University of Ottawa researcher Margaret McCuaig-Johnston said leaving China out of the document, which outlines national security threats such as foreign interference and espionage, appears to be “an indication that the government doesn’t seem to want to mention China in a negative light in any way whatsoever.”
“I think it is interesting that the word China, Russia—those words do not appear in the strategy,” McCuaig-Johnston said on Oct. 29 at an appearance before the House committee on science and research.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says her department is aware of and “closely following” the recent attack on a Falun Gong practitioner who was protesting outside the Chinese Consulate in Toronto.
“Global Affairs Canada is aware of, and closely [f]ollowing, the troubling incident that occurred on September 22, 2026, involving a peaceful Falun Gong protester on the sidewalk outside the Chinese Consulate in Toronto,” Anand wrote in an Oct. 22 letter to Conservative MP Jacob Mantle, who had written to the minister about the attack.
OTTAWA — A Conservative MP who demanded that Canada investigate whether a man accused of threatening to kill a Falun Gong protester outside China’s Toronto consulate was acting for Beijing has received a response from Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand that leaves the central question unanswered: whether the suspect is a Chinese diplomat or otherwise connected to the Chinese government.
OTTAWA — Global Affairs Canada would not have Googled or done an open-source search before granting security clearance to someone like the Canadian woman charged with spying at NATO headquarters.
That’s according to David Morrison, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s senior diplomatic and international affairs adviser and the former top bureaucrat at Global Affairs Canada (GAC).
No country right now better reveals the transformation in the way the world sees America — the way we’ve turned from ally and partner to bully and predator — than Canada.
In late August, Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada, walked away from trade talks with the Trump administration. He did so knowing that the retaliation could be ruinous for the Canadian economy.
OH Wow! Carney ruined our economy to save us!
It helped China because that was Carney’s orders.
Canada’s former spy chief is warning that China could use data collected by Chinese-made electric vehicles to gather vast amounts of personal information on Canadians that Beijing could later weaponize.
David Vigneault, former head of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), made the comments during a recent appearance on a BBC podcast. As more Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) are set to enter the Canadian market, Vigneault says they could expose users to surveillance by Beijing.
