Can Xi and Carney agree upon a long term plan to make China to become Canada's number 1 trading partner?
(Side note: Big opportunity for Canada to turn a trade deficit into a trade surplus with China:
Currently, Canada importing significantly more from China ($88.8 billion in 2024) than it exports to China ($29.9 billion in the same year), resulting in a persistent trade deficit for Canada.
Lots of items China needs: Following the TMX pipeline expansion in 2024, Chinese imports of Canadian crude oil surged, with China becoming the top buyer of TMX oil, surpassing the U.S..
Other areas that Canadian can subsitantially increase exports to China includes raw commodities like minerals, metals, and vast range of agricultural products, etc.)
Ukraine came out and said Navalny's death wasn't in fact Putin (as Biden and the US Policy makers were so quick to decry)! David & Elizabeth react to the news in this short reaction video!

New 1st island chain against China (Japan, Tinian Island and Australia/New Zealand)?
U.S. military is reopening and restoring the historic North Field airbase on Tinian Island (part of the Northern Marianas, near Japan) to create more hubs for power projection in the Pacific, countering China, with significant restoration work completed on the WWII-era runways and infrastructure. This strategy, called Agile Combat Employment (ACE), aims to use multiple dispersed locations for aircraft, revitalizing forgotten airfields like Tinian's to support modern military operations and enhance rapid deployment in potential future conflicts. The approximate air distance between China and Tinian Island varies depending on the specific cities, but it is generally around 3,500 to 4,700 kilometers (2,100 to 2,900 miles).
