In reacting to the news of the Chinese EV deal, Ford said “so much for the partnership,” then added: “At least I know where I stand now.”Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementFord says he found out about the EV deal only a few hours before it was announced. In Carney’s Canadian version of the new world order, personal relationships count for nothing and it’s every province for itself. Without access to the U.S. market, a Chinese EV plant could never produce the volume needed to justify the expense of building it. Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementUnder current federal rules, car companies in Canada would actually subsidize the new Chinese EV imports. Given the uncertainty over the future of the Canada-U.S. trade deal, Carney’s concession to the Chinese is ill-timed, at best.

OTTAWA — As Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech about the need for middle powers to unite against “hegemons” receives international praise, his main political rival back in Canada calls him “lucky” to be judged by his words. “So far, Mr. Carney has been lucky that he’s been judged by his rhetoric and his stated intention, by the number of his trips and meetings overseas,” Poilievre said in a statement, circulated by his office. Poilievre also underscored that regardless of Canadians’ feelings towards the U.S. administration, Canada’s relationship with its closest neighbour remains. Poilievre, who last week took to X to affirm support for Greenland’s sovereignty, also touched on the issue in Thursday’s statement. The Conservative leader has over the past year faced criticism from within about his ability to pivot to confront the Canada-U.S. issue, which dominated much of last year’s federal election campaign, which the Liberals won.

Following the Dallas Cowboys’ firing of first-year Defensive Coordinator Matt Eberflus, both the fanbase, and seemingly the organization, fell in love with one name as his replacement: Broncos defensive assistant Jim Leonhard. The 43-year-old Wisconsin native and former NFL safety is Denver’s assistant head coach and defensive pass game coordinator, and he’s risen through the ranks quickly to earn those titles. Lots of buzz going around that the Giants are looking to hire #Broncos defensive pass-game coordinator Jim Leonhard as their new DC. Arizona, as things stand right now, is likely to hire Joseph away from Denver, leaving Sean Payton in need of a defensive coordinator. If you haven’t caught on yet, I’ll put it this way: the Dallas Cowboys are probably Jim Leonhard’s fourth, fifth, or longer choice, behind both New York teams, Green Bay, and Denver.

But unlike Greenland, Trump can’t afford to buy Canada. Obviously, the U.S. cannot afford to buy Canada, and Canadians, like Greenlanders, aren’t interested in being absorbed. However, Trump intends to “buy” Greenland or invade it despite their objections, and Canadians rightly worry that they might be next. However, at the end of the day, any deal to “buy” Canada would be prohibitive. So my message to the White House, based on my research, is loud and clear: Mr. Trump, you may try to buy Greenland, but you can’t afford Canada.
