Carney made a great speech in Davos yesterday. Some of it even accurately describes what has been happening. However, all these MOUs he keeps signing he presents as if they were treaties or contracts when actually they are nothing more than to do lists.

I was surprised to find that all he had achieved in China with his recent visit was another bunch of vague MOUs. What we are getting as Canadians is not binding agreements with China or others like Alberta, but merely agreement theatre for the cameras.

The sheer folly of allowing China to join the World Trade Organization in 2001 is being dwarfed by still trusting China in 2026.

Last I checked, NATO is an agreement between the U.S., Canada, Turkey, and many European countries, not the EU or its leadership council. Greenland is a territory of Denmark, not the EU, UK, Norway, or any other country interfering in the legitimate internal negotiations between soveriegn countries.

Norway has parity with the U.S. as being the largest trading partners with Greenland, but has a much longer history of economic and defensive support. Meanwhile, the relationship between Denmark and Greenland has been at least neglectful, if not abusive on human rights.

But the Europanic about Greenland is preventing the Union's leadership from continuing their interference with the Ukrainian "peace" process in pursuit of robbery and expansionism.
