Mark Carney tells China, Canada ready for ‘New World Order’

Article content

When you have Prime Minister Mark Carney talking to leaders in China about the “new world order,” one has to wonder what could be coming next.

Social credit scores? Digital ID? More carbon taxes? More net zero talk? Fifteen minute cities?

What is he talking about? What will this new world order look like?

More Chinese police stations in Canada? More Chinese spies hanging around Parliament Hill? More meetings between CSIS with MPs, telling them they have been targeted?

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

Cozying up to communists

Needless to say, this was not the Elbows Up strategy the Prime Minister deployed with dealing with President Donald Trump and the United States. He was more conciliatory toward China.

It seems whatever concerns Canada had with Chinese interference in Canadian democracy was so last year. Carney is cozying up to the communists in 2026.

“Mine is the first visit from a Canadian prime minister to China in nearly 10 years,” Carney said to Chinese leaders in a meeting Thursday in Beijing that included China’s Premier Li Qiang. “The world has changed much since that last visit. I believe the progress that we have made, the partnership, sets us up well for the new world order.”

Come again? Did anybody in Canada vote for a new world order in the last election?

Saskatchewan Premier caught off guard

You can see in video of the meeting that Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, seated to Carney’s right, tilted his head quickly and looked toward the Prime Minister in surprise.

You could tell it caught him off guard – as it no doubt has most of Canada.

The prime minister’s office has so far not responded to questions looking for clarification.

Carney continued talking about how “the partnership will focus with greater depth and a sense of purpose,” and how he looks forward to “realizing this promise and building on it in the years to come … a partnership (that builds) on our strengths to create greater stability, security, sustainability and prosperity for all of our peoples.”

This sounded more like the former Bank of Canada and Bank of England, Chair of Brookfield Carney, who would frequent the World Economic Forum gatherings in Davos, Switzerland.

Or perhaps he was citing a passage from his book Value(s), which ironically has a picture on the cover of the world with construction scaffolding around it.

What’s coming next?

Eating bugs? A Great Reset? More spending on climate change? More political meddling, election interference or honey traps for MPs?

Hopefully no one infiltrates the cabinets like WEF boss Klaus Schwab said that time about the Justin Trudeau government.

Who can be sure what this all means. But some reporters on the trip seem skeptical about it all.

Burner phones

Despite a reporter telling Industry and Economic Development Minister Melanie Joly that media are forced to use “burner” phones to avoid being spied on or having their communications intercepted, it seems Canada is moving forward with a new relationship with China anyway.

Joly did admit they have their “eyes wide open” and “we know this,” but cited many business deals between the two countries that exist and Carney tweeted that more than “400,000” Canadian careers are linked to Chinese investment.

Will China end up purchasing more of Canada’s oil or natural gas? It seems no deals have been struck at this meeting so far.

But the Prime Minister, who once said China is Canada’s biggest security threat, made it clear Canada and China are now poised to participate in the “new world order” together.

Who knows, maybe it will all work out and Canadians will own nothing and be happy?
