.DonMartinCTV: Beware the friendly face of Joe Biden. He's just not that into us.
The flowery tributes will be laid on thick and our undefended border hailed as a unique miracle in a fracturing democratic world amid pledges of eternal friendship as glasses filled with Canadian wine are clinked at the state dinner.
For starters there was Biden this week opening up northern Alaska reserves to oil production, which will be carried by pipeline right down the middle of America’s last wilderness frontier. It was the action of a president throwing his environmental credentials under the political bus.But wait a minute.
That’s why Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will struggle to rein in the deficit while rolling out hefty inducements to keep our environmental infrastructure investments from disappearing into that giant sucking sound of U.S. subsidies. So if Biden is blocking cross-border energy, stealing green investments and blackballing Canada from a military partnership, what will he bring to Ottawa besides his pyjamas and address-to-Parliament speaking notes?
And Biden will offer to do nothing to stop the flood of asylum-seekers being bussed to the Quebec border for a hop-over into the warm arms of Canada’s welfare state, a dynamic that will continue until there are changes in a border treaty Biden has no interest in altering.
