The dangers for Canada in Joe Biden’s new deal
U.S. President Joe Biden made a telling gaffe during his speech to Parliament last week. It came when he wanted to thank Canada for doing its part to help with the migration crisis in the western hemisphere.
It is also increasingly apparent that Mr. Biden’s plan to contain Beijing involves a major re-evaluation of the liberal trade regime that has underpinned Western prosperity – particularly for smaller, open economies such as Canada’s – in the decades since the end of the Second World War. China has helped bring on this moment, too, through its takeover of Hong Kong, its cruel treatment of Uyghur Muslims, its interference in Canadian elections, the kidnapping of the two Michaels, and the belligerent authoritarianism and aggression of President Xi Jinping.
But there are good reasons for Canada to be wary of moving as quickly and as aggressively as Mr. Biden would like.
