"Recently, Canada has announced a number of moves viewed as part of a pivot away from close ties to the United States. Over the weekend, Canadian prime minister Mark Carney announced a strategic partnership with the People's Republic of China. The commercial agreement involved reduced tariff rates on Chinese energy, technology, and consumer goods like EVs, which will see their tariff rate fall from 100 percent to just 6.1 percent."
"One of them is by drawing up military models to repel a theoretical invasion from the US - the first time in a century that Canadian Armed Forces have done so. The extraordinary news was reported by the Globe and Mail, a major Canadian newspaper which spoke to a number of anonymous military officials working to develop the plans. According to two senior government officials, the Canadian armed forces were drafting insurgent-like tactics mirroring those used by the Taliban to fight back against the US invasion of Afghanistan."
Under increasing tensions with the United States, Canada has moved to deepen economic ties with China through a strategic partnership. The commercial agreement cuts tariffs on Chinese energy, technology, and consumer goods such as electric vehicles from 100 percent to 6.1 percent. Canadian military planners have drafted models to repel a theoretical invasion from the US, the first such planning in a century. Officials said the armed forces are considering insurgent-like tactics mirroring those used by the Taliban. Historical US interventions showed that superior military resources do not guarantee success, as intelligence failures and rural guerrilla tactics impeded operations in Afghanistan.
