LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Welcoming the new world order

As the old-world order gets rearranged and the new order gets the focus, it is hard to keep up to date. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech in Davos was well accepted and appreciated by most world leaders.

It took a tremendous amount of courage to express what most leaders already were thinking. The world order is changing at a high speed. No more soft power is generated anymore from the American empire. The world order as it was practiced until recently, is fading away and the empire is imploding from within. Economic warfare and military threats are all that is left for them.

The pretend man of peace has bombed several nations so far and is preparing for more war. Tariff threats and military threats are not going to attract other nations to do business with the U.S. The opposite is already happening. Trump’s anger against Canada’s partial trade deal with China is clear proof that he is hoping to put this country as a sacrificial lamb on his table for the menu. As a middle power Canada has evolved enough to be sitting at the table. Every angle is tested by our neighbour to see how much we are willing to surrender. Cruelty seems to be the method that is applied. We do not need to surrender or roll over to avoid pain and suffering. Whether we like it or not, we cannot avoid some pain and suffering. The promise has been made to inflict pain on Canadians and there is no reason to believe otherwise.

As for the partial trade agreement with China, it seems to be a well thought out way to reconnect the relationship and establish an avenue that benefits our farmers and help the consumers to buy cheaper electric cars. The new world order is coming with electric vehicles until something better gets invented. It will solve part of the pollution problem.

We as Canadians are not helpless against the threats coming from our southern neighbors. We have powerful weapons without the military or the government. These weapons are called “the wallets”. Last year we started using these weapons and it cost the U.S. billions of dollars. We can double the effort by boycotting U.S. food products, U.S. assembled vehicles and other products. And if we stop traveling in the U.S. like many snowbirds have started, that will be a powerful message. Let us spend more in our own country and let us remember the Canadians sitting in American camps suffering without representation. I would like to draw the readers attention to Midas Canada on YouTube. The resistance is growing and without resistance we cannot survive in our precious free country. I like the way our prime minister is leading this country. I am ready to assist in whatever form I can help.
