Ofcourse everyone has opinions,and some of our esteemed colleagues have already tries to sully the source

but lets do an experiment... can the left ever admit OMB could be OMR orange man right, about the sources opinion.

IMHO Canada is at a crossroads...

"Nobody wants Trump to be right. The possibility offends. But wanting is not analysis, and offence is not refutation. The painful possibility that Canadian policymakers must sit with is that Trump’s crude assessment of allies, adversaries, and the failing international order may be closer to truth than the elegant alternative Carney presented to standing ovations in Switzerland. Sometimes the rude guest sees what the polite ones have agreed not to mention."

Pretty soon everyone will get it. The old order is over, and it's not a matter of shifting alliances to maintain order. This is something new, something radical, America First dominance is here.

The fact that we're allying with China shows that Trump was right all along.

At any point in time before Justin Trudeau, there would be politicians in jail.

Trump is right a lot more often than most people care to admit, even to themselves.

Like him or not, Trump does things; Carney talks about doing things.

I have said — throw enough darts at a dartboard — some are going to stick. 

Don’t ignore the ones that fall to the ground. 

How much research did you do into Stephen’s background?  Seems he is primarily based in China. Hence his perspective from China. 

Also globalism — Concurrently, he he is a Research fellow the Canadian Global Affairs Institute (CGAI) and a Visiting Fellow with the Japan Institute for International Affairs (JIIA)

Sometimes you can throw all 3 darts at once and all three will stick.... You can't land them all but if you don't square up throw because you are afraid you'll miss you'll never get anything done.

Trump still gives the impression of doing more in less time than many past administrations and it comes off as a nice change of pace even with the resistance trying their hardest to resist. Lol, at times their little Trotsky's network even gets overwhelmed and Trump can get land a few more darts. How about that save act.

Is it that hard to follow the easy instructions

minus the drama, its a message board with less than 1500 active members FFS



Its kind of the point of the article if you open up your noggin a bit. #1 and FWIW more interested in the Canadian perspective.

I dont talk to as many Canadians as I used to but the few I still follow are a mixed breed, hard to get a read...

But as an ignorant American and in todays propagandize news cycle its not the source or my foreigners limited perpective and opinion its how those in Canada ultimately respond.

So — you’re not inferring in any way that those who don’t follow your thought patterns — don’t open their noggins? Just a thought. Try posting without first attempting to insult. 

What I see on your part — is selectivism. 

However — Stephen has quite a background — seems highly intelligent — and has a lot to say. 

I do thank you for the introduction. I’m interested in what else he has to say.

That's not how I read that. Your initial response wasn't to the context of the Tweet, you instead shifted the opening topic to be about it's source and what vetting it has had to be consider at all. You then clearly found it acceptable but then made no real comment. You structured your response to be negative even when you had no real reason to do so, why go that extra mile when you could have just said:

why go that extra mile...

Why. Because of ego and closet narcissism. Riding the high horse. There's no fix for that sadly

100%

Furthermore we are all asked to listen to and opinionate sources we may or may not agree on DI and elsewhere ALL the time

I mean some have used a realtors op-ed piece as centrist journalism...

and they still got additional oipinons why the conclusion from the source was bullshit...

a fine distinction but a distingtion none the less


todays word is distinction

"Selectivism" ... what the left constantly engages in.
They only follow the laws that they want to.

[ANNEE]

I am not One-Dimensional. 

I need to know a persons background and why they think the way they do. 

So - no — I can’t just address an article you post — that you want to project a certain mindset — without knowing (or at least an idea) of where the author is coming from. 

Stephen Nagy is extremely precise in his wording. This may take awhile. 
 

By Stephen Nagy, January 12, 2026

A recent Economist article speculates that Canada is “hedging” against the United States by seeking deeper engagement with China. But this framing represents a fundamental misreading of both Canada’s strategic position, and the nature of contemporary great power competition.
