Harrison "(Ma) also, upon questioning from one of your colleagues, failed to say clearly, as the Prime Minister has also failed to say clearly that forced labour exists in China and that we are against it and that this will be a major part of our trade conversations moving forward." "...And because the Prime Minister will not firmly denounce it, you can understand why so many people have questions about the government's position on this." Kate Harrison

Harrison "So I would be looking far less to the tone in the House in terms of what it means for the future of this government and much more to the relationship with the United States because it is how Carney came to power and I think it's how he's going to propose to stay in power." Kate Harrison

Kate Harrison on the Ford ad fallout "So this has been a pretty expensive waste of time for the province, but also for the federal government, who's now left to kind of pick up the pieces of something that I think was understood to be a problem for a long time." "And I suspect that the federal government knew that very well. And I think that they quite enjoyed for a long time the good cop, bad cop dance that they had with the premier and the prime minister. And now it has backfired spectacularly." "We're very far from the spring when the prime minister had a very different message. And I do wonder how that is going to play with his base of supporters that was adamant that we cannot cave to Donald Trump when it seems that is all that we have been doing since the prime minister got elected."

Kate Harrison on cutting EV tariffs for Chinese electric vehicles to advance the relationship "The other thing that it may accelerate the decline of is the relationship with the United States, of course, and so that, you know, it's hard not to feel as though this is a reactionary kind of conversation to failing to address the foundation of our trade relationship in the Canada U S Relationship" "They are accused of having interfered in elections in this country and not who I think the government would name at the top of the list in terms of a values based trading partner." "And yet we have seen our foreign minister refer to them as a strategic partner." "...These are the things that we don't really have answers to these questions right now because we don't know what's on the prime minister's wish list for this trip." "The prime minister ran an election campaign on resolving this tariff dispute with the United States. He hasn't done it yet." "And they're about to spend billions of dollars of taxpayer money in the upcoming budget as result of not yet achieving that deal in order to bolster a lot of those sectors." Kate Harrison

Kate Harrison "So if the Prime Minister is going to make these declarative statements, he should be prepared to answer, ok, 'are you speaking only about the United States or how does this foreign policy look and this position look vis a vis China and Taiwan', for which the Prime Minister has been silent?"

Kate Harrison on Carney's video "My prediction is twofold" "One, the Prime Minister is reminding Canadians to Vandana's point everyday Canadians that Donald Trump is to blame for all of Canada's problems." "That is, even though I have a majority government, I'm really not the problem." "And I wonder what it means for next week's spring economic statement. I do think that we're going to see extraordinary spending." "We saw some comments from the IMF suggesting that the jet to DDP ratio can increase based on Canada's fiscal position." "I think the government's going to take that ball and run and they're going to use the uncertainty with the United States as a backdrop for more deficit spending." Kate Harrison

Harrison "Yeah, I think it would be helpful for the Prime Minister to make himself available to answer some questions on this." "You know, once is a coincidence and twice is a pattern." "When we saw the Prime Minister go to Beijing, it just so happened that government MPs were present in Taiwan, and then their participation was pulled back to their own admission to avoid confusion ahead of that meeting with the PRC." "Now we see a government official suggest that, you know, Indian interference, no big deal, nothing to see here, right on the heels or right at the forefront of the Prime Minister's trip." " I don't think that those things are coincidences." "I think it's a pattern of trying to appease prospective trade partners at the behest of foreign policy principles." Kate Harrison

Kate Harrison on a pipeline to the BC coast "I think it again comes back to the investment environment that we create here." "...They want the certainty of the investment environment before making such investments." "And when we have arguments playing out like we do right now with a proposal on paper that might not be hypothetical but is certainly not a full one, and you're already seeing politicians react in the negative way to even something that isn't fully thought out." "In the case of Premier Eby in particular, what signal does that send to private capital about the likelihood of doing business here?" "And that's where I think if it is true that Prime Minister Carney wants to move fast and break things and do things differently, he has an opportunity, not necessarily in accepting this proposal, but going back to the root issues of why that private capital is not coming here."

Kate Harrison "But it would be naive to suggest that the federal government and the policies over the last decade and more haven't led to the legitimate grievances that a lot of Albertans are facing. So I think that it was appropriate in its tone." "Certainly no one will be saying that the Conservatives and Poilievre are unclear on this issue." "And I do think that it's important not to use this issue as a partisan cudgel. You can do that by talking about some of the federal government policies that are causing a lot of frustration and strife in the province without necessarily saying it's all on Mark Carney to fix" "I think the number one job for the Prime Minister of Canada is national unity. That should supersede any, you know, trade dispute that we have with the US or economic agenda is keeping this country together." Kate Harrison

Kate Harrison on the message pulling MPs from Taiwan sends to the world "When we are in an environment where we are talking about democratic nations being invaded on a regular basis, pick the nation of choice." "It is hypocritical to be concerned about the hypothetical US Invasion of Greenland and not extremely critical of any decision by Canada to look at pulling back support for Taiwan at this time."

Kate Harrison "And I think that the message that we got from the prime minister yesterday looks a little bit strange compared to the situation we have now." "I think the rupture that he's talking about looks more like a ripple." "I think that he is right now, talking about new world orders, trying to carve out a new international way of doing things as opposed to doing the job that he was elected to do, which is to get back to the negotiating table and get an agreement with our largest trading partner." "So how did the remarks on Monday tee us up to get back to the table for a discussion on trade when everything was revolved around that ostensible threat to Greenland, which now looks a lot different today than it did when Mark Carney spoke?" Then after sitting through a Cochrane lecture "It was a well crafted speech delivered to an audience that was primed for that message and I give him credit for that." "But there is a difference between speechifying and actually doing things." Kate Harrison

Jeff Rutledge "Well, let me first start by saying that I think this is a fundamental mistake by the prime minister in making this trip to try to set a new strategic partnership" "I think it puts us in a very dangerous position in terms of our conversations with the US who has been very explicit about their desire to isolate China." "...And I think that there will be lots of promises that will be made to the Canadian government in their visit to China this time, and I think very little of them will be followed through on because China has one goal here and that's defending and protecting their economy and promoting their economy. And their priorities have nothing to do with those of Canadians." Jeff Rutledge

“Logic and self-interest will push China and the United States towards a trade deal,” fmr US Amb to China Nicholas Burns tells me. “I would hope it would be this autumn. Why do I say that? China needs continued access to the United States as its largest export market…The United States needs the same thing. We need to grow and we need access to trade with China.” Aspen Security Forum #AspenSecurity

Kate Harrison nails it once again "The ugly is. This is obviously a dramatic departure from the tone the prime minister took during the election campaign." "I think we've come a far way between Trump wants to break us so he can own us to the glowing promotional video that we saw emerge from the White House. So." "I think the tone was right, but it is noteworthy that it was a very different posture for the prime minister than we saw in the campaign." "And there were a lot of people during the campaign that wanted to go into the White House and, you know, give the president a different kind of salute." Kate Harrison

Chinese think tank analyst Victor Gao, in an interview with Channel 4 News, said that China is fully prepared to fight to the very end "because the world is big enough that the United States is not the totality of the market in the world." The host noted that if the US shuts itself out of the China market, China will lose 15% in trade, to which Gao responded: "We don't care. China has been here for 5,000 years. Most of the time, there was no United States, and we survived. And if the United States wants to bully China, we will deal with the situation without the United States. And we expect to survive for another 5,000 years."

Charles Burton lays Carney's Chinese agenda bare "The US Is probably not happy that Canada declared last year that our relationship with China is a strategic partnership." "I mean, you know, who are China's other strategic partners?" "Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela." "I really don't think we can get China to agree that they won't engage in the extent of espionage they do in Canada or their influence operations or their harassment of people in our country... they already claim they never do that." "...And there's also indications from some elements within Washington that if we were to allow Chinese EVs into Canada, they, they'd be stopped at the border if Canadians tried to drive them into the United States." "...I really feel that our declaring that we have a strategic partnership with China was the wrong move and we ought to move back on that."

Jeffrey Sachs: Starting WW3 over Taiwan " would be the stupidest thing for my grandchildren to die for." "China, first of all, is not a threat to the United States' security. Big oceans, big nuclear deterrent, and so forth." "Second, we don't have to be in China's face." "What do I mean by that? We don't have to provoke World War III over Taiwan." "That's a long, complicated issue. But this would be the stupidest thing for my grandchildren to die for." "We have three agreements with China that say we're gonna stay out of that, and we should." "And then China would have no reason for war either." Recorded on September 10th, 2024 at the All-In Summit
