Is Canada trying to match or outdo American hostility to China?TORONTO—Is Canada trying to match or outdo American hostility to China? Government actions point to such an ill-considered approach. Rather than seeking to develop a more constructive relationship, while defending our values, the Trudeau government seems to be going out of its way to engage in its own Cold War with China. In a recent speech in Washington, D.C., Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland endorsed U.S. President Joe Biden’s plan for “near-shoring,” which means prioritizing imports from friendly allies rather than China. But it’s also a new form of protectionism that will fragment, at great expense, existing supply chains and result in higher prices for many products. While we must avoid dependence on one country for products critical to national security, that should be a very small list. Freeland’s visit to Washington was quickly followed by that of Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne where he, reportedly, promised to reduce Canadian imports from China, a lose-lose scenario since China could reduce imports from Canada. Returning to Canada, Champagne then ordered Chinese investors to sell their shares in three Canadian junior mining companies, because, he claimed, they threatened Canadian national security even though two of them were pursing projects in Chile and Argentina, not Canada. The order may have had more to do with accommodating U.S. efforts to reduce China’s presence in Latin America. Asked to explain, Industry Canada said “the government has concluded that a lack of secure access to critical minerals found and developed both within and outside of Canada, by Canadian firms, is a source of national security risk for Canada.” This is a dramatic shift from January when the government approved the $960-million takeover of Neo Lithium Corp., a Canadian company developing a lithium mine in Argentina, by a Chinese state-owned enterprise. The new policy will hurt small Canadian mining companies seeking capital and could weaken Canada’s role a

New immigration targets essential for Canada's economic prosperityCanada is breaking records on immigration. The federal government recently announced increased targets for the next two years, with the intention to welcome a record 500,000 new permanent residents in 2025. Statistics Canada’s latest release from the 2021 census shows immigrants now make up a greater share of the population than at any point in our history as a country. The latest Focus Canada survey report breaks a record of a different kind: Canadians have never been more supportive of immigration than they are today, showing Canada truly stands out for its openness to diversity and change. These points also suggest an awareness of the vital contribution immigrants make to the country’s social and economic fabric. That may in part explain why Canadians have grown more open to immigration and multiculturalism, not less. The Focus Canada survey report found 70 per cent of Canadians support current immigration levels—the largest majority to do so in more than four decades of polling. Similarly, there is also growing public support for accepting refugees, not only from Ukraine, but also from countries such as Afghanistan. Three-in-four Canadians now agree we should accept more newcomers from parts of the world experiencing major conflicts—twice the proportion that held that view 20 years ago. This is remarkable at a time when nationalism, populism, and anti-immigrant sentiment are on the rise globally. But while Canada has been more welcoming than most nations, support for immigration in this country cannot be taken for granted. As the country wrestles with rising inflation, housing affordability, a strained health-care system, and an increasingly toxic political environment, support for immigration could erode. Our research shows concerns about immigration have to do with how quickly newcomers integrate into Canadian society. Canadians are fairly evenly divided as to whether there are too many immigrants coming to Canada who are not adopting our values. But the propo

Politics This Morning: A pitch to ‘rebuild’ UkraineGood Wednesday morning, The Public Order Emergency Commission continues its home-stretch hearings today, with testimony from Defence Minister ANITA ANAND, Transport Minister OMAR ALGHABRA, and Justice Minister DAVID LAMETTI. Supporters of Ukraine are gathering in Toronto, and the Bank of Canada governor is appearing before a committee of MPs. Let’s get started. What’s the cabinet up to? Prime Minister JUSTIN TRUDEAU will meet with SVIATLANA TSIKHANOUSKAYA at 9 a.m. this morning. Tsikhanouskaya is in Ottawa to ask for Canada to take a tougher stance toward Belarussian autocratic leader ALEXANDER LUKASHENKO, whose regime imprisoned her husband, SERGEI TIKHANOVSKY, when he rallied protests against Lukashenko in 2020. Deputy Prime Minister CHRYSTIA FREELAND is in Toronto this morning, where she will deliver a speech at the “rebuild Ukraine business conference” at 9 a.m. The conference is being hosted by the Canada-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce with support from the governments of both Canada and Ukraine, as well as private-sector organizations from both countries. The plan is to show off Ukrainian business projects worthy of investment, and to share information about programs to help investors that are run by entities including Export Development Canada and the World Bank. Ukraine’s deputy minister for the economy, TETIANA BEREZHNA, is also listed among the speakers for the event. Health Minister JEAN-YVES DUCLOS will hold a press conference in Ottawa alongside public health officials for the cities of Toronto and Ottawa at 1 p.m. today “related to pediatric vaccination.” Industry Minister FRANÇOIS-PHILIPPE CHAMPAGNE continues his business overseas today. He’s on a trip through Japan and Korea to promote Canadian technology and raw materials. He’ll be starting the day in Japan and ending it with meetings in Korea. Addictions and Mental Health Minister CAROLYN BENNETT is in Ottawa, where she will announce some sort of support for people with drug addictions at a local cen
