Charles Burton lays Carney's Chinese agenda bare "The US Is probably not happy that Canada declared last year that our relationship with China is a strategic partnership."

"I mean, you know, who are China's other strategic partners?"

"Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela."

"...And there's also indications from some elements within Washington that if we were to allow Chinese EVs into Canada, they, they'd be stopped at the border if Canadians tried to drive them into the United States."
