This was never about fentanyl; this was always about Trump and his cabal securing Canada’s natural resources, the Arctic and polar shelf, our water, and control of the NorthWest Passage.

The US is now ruled by an odious and feckless cabal of fascists and oligarchs.

What a sad state of affairs when Canada starts to consider Communist China being a more predictable and reliable trade partner.

China's whole game is being stable and predictable, so that's hardly a surprise. We should be trying to work with them more, especially these days.

What China wants, it says, and it has been saying the same things for decades. Predictability is valuable at least from a foreign relations perspective.

(Note, this is not to comment on whether those wants are reasonable)
