Well, is it rules of the world?
Because I think it's a little more complicated than that.
And here's how I think about it, okay?
So this is a really, really, really important event because, you know, in 2016, Trump came down the escalator.
And really what he was saying, though this was not played up β it was somewhat played up in, like, mainstream media, but β
but actually it was one of his core things.
What Trump was saying was America's losing and China's winning.
That's why he said China, China, China in 2015, 2016, before that was a thing, right?
And what Carney did in his own way is iconoclastic.
He said America's lost and China's won.
And that's why Carney got the first and best terms by surrendering to China first.
And what is he getting for that?
Carney and Chinese Canada are getting electric cars.
They're getting their electrical grid built out by China.
That's something that was underappreciated in the announcement.
They're probably getting maybe drones.
Why?
Because Carney said something like, if Trump invades Greenland, then, you know, we'll fight or something along those lines.
And I was like, that's interesting.
And I wouldn't be surprised for getting drones or something.
