It turns out that Canada, like every other Nation, is doing what it must to protect and advance its interests. Pragmatically. And seeing the world as it is, rather than as we wish it was.

Speaking of which... ka ching....


Energy-hungry India tells Carney 'we are willing to buy whatever Canada is offering'

India needs oil, natural gas and uranium — and fast, high commissioner says on eve of PM's visit

India wants to buy any energy product it can from Canada and its officials are urging the federal government to streamline approvals for various projects so it can tap into new supplies to feed a rapidly growing country with relatively few natural resources of its own.

That's the message India's high commissioner to Canada, Dinesh Patnaik, relayed in an interview with CBC News before Prime Minister Mark Carney left for a five-day visit to the country. It's a trip that will be laser-focused on cutting new business deals and getting negotiations for a free trade agreement underway as part of a push to diversify from the American market.

"On energy, there is an appetite which even Canada cannot fulfill and we are willing to buy whatever Canada is offering on crude, on LPG, on LNG," Patnaik said, referring to oil and gas products.

Great. Let’s dig it up and sell it to ‘em.

I probably would too minus China going from public enemy #1 to besties after a few handshakes and smiles.

I'd also demand my MP push for an investigation into the circles him and his spouse ran in, and whose shoulders they rubbed with.

What about normalizing trade to pre-Meng Wanzhou levels makes them besties? Especially when our largest customer, who stabbed us in the back in said case, has decided to self-immolate?

I'd be happy if they bought some of our SMR and maybe a CANDU or three along with the uranium.

I get the hostility towards China, as they go beyond trying to just control former Chinese citizens living abroad, and putting down dissent/criticism.
India is a more interesting case. Why are we really mad at them? Because they assassinated what they deemed a threat on Cdn soil and got caught right? I'm sure the US, Israel, and Russia have done the same, and have just done it better and quieter. Hell Israel loves using Canadian passports to get in and out of places on kill missions.

All that to say is as a sovereign nation, we should be exploiting our trade advantages whenever and wherever we can.
