What is the deal with Mark Carney and China - Canada is ripe for foreign interference now that foreign actors know they can operate with impunity in this country. Why does China want Mark Carney to be our Prime Minister? Mark Carney has worked in each and every one of his jobs- Brookfield, England, and Canada - to do business with China. Shouldn't Carney read the memo that the Communist Party of China is not our friend? Brian Lilley is a columnist with the Toronto Sun - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast.

Today's Headlines: Trump is still pushing for a rare minerals deal with Ukraine but won't restart military aid unless Zelensky makes political concessions—including giving up land to Russia. Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Ukraine are escalating, and Trump is considering ending protections for over 280,000 Ukrainian refugees in the U.S. In Syria, the new Islamist-led government launched deadly revenge attacks on Assad loyalists, while Russia claims it's working on de-escalation. In other news, China slapped Canada with major tariffs in a growing trade war, the U.S. jobs report showed weaker-than-expected growth, and the DOJ is investigating egg price gouging. Elon Musk is pushing for federal job cuts, SpaceX's rocket explosion disrupted flights, and Trump pulled $400M in grants from Columbia over antisemitism concerns. Meanwhile, most of the 80,000 employees at Health and Human Services were offered buyouts as part of government downsizing. And finally, with no budget deal in sight, a government shutdown could be days away.

Donald Trump's latest moves have sent shockwaves across Europe as U.S. aid to Ukraine faces a major halt. Sumit Peer analyzes the geopolitical ramifications of this decision—how will it impact Ukraine's war efforts, and what message does it send to NATO allies? As Europe scrambles to respond, China and Canada have also weighed in, adding further complexity to the global power dynamics. Is this a shift toward American isolationism, or a strategic recalibration of global alliances?

Trump's speech is happening on the same day as China, Canada and Mexico all condemned the introduction of US trade tariffs - and promised to take targeted action against American imports in retaliation. Asia correspondent Erin Hale spoke to Lisa Owen.

America's trade war with Canada, Mexico, and China is ramping up. All three countries are introducing retaliatory tariffs in response to the steep tariffs introduced by Donald Trump last night. Trump's responded, saying he will raise tariffs on Canada even further. China's vowing to fight the US "to the bitter end", and Canada's Justin Trudeau says his country won't back down. Trudeau says Canadians are reasonable and polite, but they won't back down from a fight when the wellbeing of their country is at stake. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that within the US, major franchises such as Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depo are all warning of price spikes ahead.

030425 Scott Adams Show, China, Canada, Mexico Tariffs, US should leave NATO, UN, G7, Tariff EU

Welcome to Wealth Wednesday 1/29/25. In this episode, we take an in-depth look at the latest developments in global trade and tariffs affecting the United States and its key trading partners. With recent moves by President Trump and new tariff announcements from Ecuador, this discussion sheds light on how these policies may reshape international trade dynamics and impact economies worldwide. What Are Tariffs? A tariff is a tax imposed by one country on goods and services imported from another. Tariffs are used to influence trade, raise revenue, and protect domestic industries. Key Topics Discussed: Trump's Use of Tariffs: President Trump argues that tariffs will boost U.S. manufacturing, protect jobs, raise tax revenue, and grow the economy. However, Trump warns that Americans might feel some economic pain as a result. China's Response: A 10% tariff on all goods imported from China to the United States went into effect on February 4. In retaliation, China has imposed a 15% tariff on U.S. coal and liquefied natural gas products starting February 10, along with 10% tariffs on crude oil, agricultural machinery, and large engine cars. Canada and Mexico Tariff Developments: The Canadian Prime Minister has announced that Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian goods will be paused for at least 30 days while negotiations continue. Similarly, tariffs on Mexico have been put on hold for a month following discussions between President Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who also confirmed the deployment of national guard troops to the border to address drug and weapons trafficking concerns. Mexico has warned that a tariff war could have significant negative effects on both U.S. consumers and American companies operating in Mexico. Ecuador's Bold Tariff Move: Ecuador has announced a 27% tariff on Mexican goods to "ensure fair treatment" of its domestic producers, according to President Daniel Noboa. Although Ecuador accounts for less than 0.1% of Mexico's exports, this move highlights tensions in trade relations. Additionally, Ecuador has finalized a new trade deal with Canada, expected to boost local job growth in sectors like flowers, canned tuna, textiles, and auto parts, with mutual commitments on labor and environmental policies. Join us as we explore the economic implications of these tariff policies and what they mean for global trade, investment strategies, and the everyday consumer. Tune in now to understand how these shifting trade dynamics could affect your bottom line and the broader market. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Ahead of the auditor general's report on the greenbelt today – what are some of the implications of her announcement? GUEST: Phil Pothen, Ontario Environment Program Manager with Environmental Defense - The Competition Bureau is already looking into Meta's removal of Canadian news from Facebook and Instagram, a spokesperson said the same day a group of news publishers and broadcasters asked for an investigation into the company's news blocking. GUEST: Kevin Desjardins, President of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters - Canada has little to show for its promises to combat forced labour in China, critics say. In 2021, members of Parliament were among the first in the West to officially condemn Beijing's repression of Uyghur and other Muslim minorities from China's Xinjiang province – abuses that include forced labour. GUEST: Dr. Robert Huish, Associate Professor with the Department of International Development Studies at Dalhousie University

Canada's role in the context of U.S.-China strategic competition is significant, given its historical relationships with both countries. While Canada normalized relations with China in 1970 and sought to strengthen the Canada-China relationship over the decades, its recent Indo-Pacific Strategy takes a much firmer stance than seen in the past, referring to China as a “disruptive power” that disregards international rules; nevertheless, Canada also recognizes that China will have to play an essential role in solving global challenges. When it comes to relations with and approaches to China, where do American and Canadian strategic interests and priorities overlap? Where do the United States and Canada see things differently? What are the main factors driving these dynamics? In an interview conducted June 22, 2023, Diana Fu, Gordon Houlden, and Pascale Massot discuss Canada-China relations and areas where the U.S. and Canadian Indo-Pacific Strategies converge and diverge.

Charlie Robison of Macroaggressions and Ricky Varandas from The Ripple Effect join us for a great chat about current events in the North American political sphere, the WEF YGL stance of Tulsi and Vivek, Trump 2024, Transhumanism, the breakdown of society, the competence problem, and communism and China/Canada. Where do we exit? Some of these new politicians are refreshing though, not that we think anything will really change.   In the second half we get deeper into the tax problem, Russiagate etc, blaming Trump, the future of the West, when Common Core math comes to industry, an analysis of the generations, tech progression, rethinking the world, the western push of workaholicism and consumerism vs laziness and entitlement, LGBT+ through the generations, and is Gen Z more trouble than they are worth when hiring?   We also talk about the latest UFO Disclosure and some members of the truth community that have been outed as shills. Who is stopping real Disclosure of clean energy tech? The Greens? The old oil Barons? We chat about Disclosure 2.0 Event at the Washington Press Club, which seems to be competing with the Governments own Disclosure of UFO's and anti gravity potential. ET's are becoming accepted and talked about now by Government, but who do we believe. Is this a smokescreen for the ARV's (alien reproduction vehicles - man made) that have been flying around for decades.   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.   For second half of video (when applicable and audio) go to our Substack and Subscribe. https://grimericaoutlawed.substack.com/ or to our Locals  https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/   Macroaggressions Podcast with Charlie Robinson @macroaggressio3 Host, Macroaggressions on Banned Video/Apple.

Last week's exchange that saw each country expel a diplomat was called a "spat"—but really it was the latest volley in a low-heat diplomatic conflict that's been simmering for years. Every new twist, from takeovers to arrests, from allegations of election interference and threats of retaliation, only makes the next more likely.How did China and Canada end up here? What have we learned in the past few months about just what China is trying to do in this country? What steps has our government taken to protect our democracy from outside interference? And what should we expect if China decides to retaliate?GUEST: Stephanie Carvin, former national security analyst, Associate Professor at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, author of Stand on Guard: Reassessing threats to Canada's National Security

Canada expelled a Chinese diplomat accused of foreign interference, and China quickly retaliated. What does the move say about the government's approach to foreign policy? Plus, Alberta calls on the military to help fight wildfires. Is it time to postpone the provincial election?

The longtime king of cable news ratings, Tucker Carlson, has announced he'll be relaunching his show on Twitter just a couple of weeks after being abruptly fired by Fox News.  Elon Musk has positioned Twitter as being a platform for content creators and free speech. Despite claims by journalists and media outlets that they'd be boycotting the platform, most have remained. Even CBC, which stopped tweeting after its accounts were labelled "government-funded media," has resumed.  True North's Andrew Lawton weighs in on the future of independent media. Also, Canada has finally expelled the Chinese diplomat at the centre of accusations of intimidating Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family.

Today: The province has passed the controversial Bill 60 that expands surgeries in private care clinics. Meanwhile, Ottawa has expelled Toronto-based Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei and in a tit for tat response, Beijing expelled Canadian diplomat  Jennifer Lynn Lalonde from Canada's consulate HQ in Shanghai. And, Ottawa is also organizing a list of names of foreign labs and universities that pose a risk to Canada's national security.  ---- CHINA-OTTAWA TENSIONS ESCALATE AS BOTH COUNTRIES EXPEL DIPLOMATS Libby Znaimer is now joined by Charles Burton,  Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and expert on Canada-China relations,  Cheuk Kwan of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China, and Dr. Jeremy Paltiel, Professor of Politics, government and foreign policies of Asia (China and Japan) at Carleton University.  Tensions continue to escalate between Ottawa and Beijing as Trudeau's government decided to expel Toronto-based Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei after a CSIS report revealed that Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family were targeted by the Chinese. As a response, China is sending our very own diplomat Jennifer Lynn Lalonde from the consulate in Shanghai. Meanwhile, the government is drafting a list of foreign labs and universities that pose a threat to Canada's national security. So, where does it all go from here? And what must be done in order for Canada and China's frosty relationship to improve?  Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news this is a week where we get a fuller set of global inflation data, including from the UK, Japan, Canada, South Africa, Malaysia, and New Zealand on Thursday. We will also get Chinese GDP growth data for Q1-2023, industrial production and retail sales for March on Tuesday. And there is a dairy auction due on Wednesday.But first up today, China's new home prices rose in March from February at the fastest pace in 21 months, official data showed on Saturday, suggesting the market is out of the doldrums amid a flurry of support policies, but there is uncertainty on the strength of the momentum. New home prices in March edged up +0.5% month-on-month after a +0.3% rise in February, marking the fastest pace since June 2021 and the third consecutive monthly rise. But they are still lower on a year-on-year basis although only by -0.8%.Internationally, it is becoming clear that China's Belt & Road Initiative - a giant infrastructure system tying global facilities to China - is in deep trouble. Chinese lending to these projects has been slashed and it has become “a road and belt to nowhere.” Over 60 developing countries today face a debt crisis brought on by overborrowing for these Chinese-promoted projects during the heady 2010s. In 2022, 60% of Chinese overseas loans went to distressed borrowers, up from 5% in 2010. Many cannot repay.Separately late Friday, Singapore surprised analysts with an unexpectedly weak Q1-2023 GDP result, down -0.7% from the prior quarter. Actually the Q4-2022 result showed virtually no growth, so they are knocking on the door of 'recession'. Their year-on-year +2.1% rise in 2022 crashed to just +0.1% in Q1-2023 from Q1-2022.Meanwhile, the central bank of Singapore has been reported as asking financial institutions to keep quiet the flood of money coming in from wealthy Chinese.But the biggest weekend news is that American retail sales fell in March from February to be just +2.9% higher than year ago levels and far less than inflation's bite. It was a result that surprised analysts who expected a -0.4% month-on-month fall when they got -1.0%.However other American indicators weren't so negative. Industrial production rose +0.4% in March from February to be +0.5% higher than year ago levels. This data is 'real' without inflation.And consumer sentiment, as measured in the widely-watched University of Michigan survey rose too. That shift wasn't expected, but it was in both views of current conditions and expected future conditions. However, Americans apparently think inflation will rise (contrary to most other data that shows it falling).Meanwhile, the leakage from deposits at US bank accounts, which fell sharply from the start of March (-US$400 bln or -2.3%) are stabilising in the April updates. But that masks big shifts from smaller banks to the majors, who are now reporting bumper profits. And too, big funds like Blackrock. During this time the Federal Reserve stepped in with more market support, suspending its tightening. Although over this past week, it has resumed the drawdown. One consequence of the banking turmoil is that regional American banks are now offering much higher interest rates to attract back depositors.In Canada, their real estate industry is talking 'green shoots' as they enter their Spring selling season. After declining for 12 consecutive months, their national home price index rose +0.2% to C$709,000 (NZ$855,000) from February to March. Their market suffers from an unusually low number of listings available. But their much higher interest rates will make it challenging to build any sort of meaningful recovery.The OECD is pointing out that that global labour markets remain very tight in developed countries. In February, the unemployment rate remained at its record low in the OECD (4.8%) and this is despite the Euro area still much higher (6.6%). The unemployment rate was stable or decreased in more than 70% of OECD countries, but close to its lowest level in only seven countries, including Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The UST 10yr yield starts today at 3.52%, and very little change. The price of gold is at US$2004/oz and down -US$1 from Saturday. A week ago it was at US$2008/oz, so actually very little net change.And oil prices are at up +50 USc and just over US$82.50/bbl in the US. The international Brent price is just over US$86/bbl. But a week ago these prices were US$2 lower so the net move up since then has been +2.5%.The Kiwi dollar has stayed down against the USD and still at 62.1 USc. Against the Aussie we are have remained to 92.6 AUc. Against the euro we are still at 56.5 euro cents. That means the TWI-5 is at 69.8, unchanged since Saturday and still its lowest in almost six months.The bitcoin price is again little-changed, still at US$30,331 and that's six straight days at this level. But a week ago it was at US$27,924 so it has been a major +8.6% move up from then. Volatility over the past 24 hours has remained very low at +/- 0.4%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.

Guest: Charles Burton, Senior Fellow from Macdonald-Laurier Institute When the alleged Chinese spy balloon floated across the United States earlier this month, it ignited a firestorm of concern about Beijing's surveillance program. U.S. President Joe Biden called it a violation of U.S. sovereignty while, after other unidentified objects over North American airspace became of interest, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged “a very serious situation.” The reaction spoke volumes about U.S. and Canadian concerns, while Beijing insisted the initial white orb was an errant civilian airship. Charles Burton, a Senior Fellow from Macdonald-Laurier Institute and expert in China-Canada relations, joins “This Matters” to discuss what we've seen in the skies, surveillance technology and the state of our relationships with China.

Noam Chomsky has been an anti-war, anti-capitalist activist for over 60 years and continues to call liberal elites to account for propping up unjust systems that have brought us to the brink of climate catastrophe and nuclear annihilation. Chomsky spoke at a recent webinar organized by Canada-China Focus, a new pan-Canadian, anti-racist project promoting critical conversations and policy initiatives on Canada-China relations. Chomsky says Canada is at a crossroads on China, and we must work together or perish together.

Canada won't be sending government diplomats to the Winter Olympics in Beijing this February. Neither will the United States, United Kingdom or Australia. Officials hope the move will send a message to China that human rights abuses by its government have not gone unnoticed. Meanwhile, Beijing dismissed the announcements as a "farce." Our question this week: How do you feel about Canada's diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Olympic Games? Does it go far enough? Angela Schneider, director of the International Center for Olympic Studies at Western University, weighs in on the effectiveness of Olympic boycotts; Tibetan Canadian activist Chemi Lhamo explains why she believes the diplomatic boycott doesn't go far enough; Former Olympic gymnast Kris Burley says athletes should be left out of political posturing; and Lynette Ong, professor of political science at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, on the China-Canada relations.

For decades, we've heard about the rise of China. A major historical and contemporary power, the country shapes domestic and global politics -- as Canada knows quite well. And yet, coverage of China, its affairs, and its international relations is often hyperbolic, skewed, and incomplete. A new book from a veteran reporter on China-Canada relations adds depth, rigour, and new perspectives to that coverage. So, how should we think about China's place in the world?On this episode of Open to Debate, David Moscrop talks with Joanna Chiu, senior reporter with the Toronto Star and author of China Unbound: A New World Disorder.

Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei, is free, having been put on a flight from Canada back to her native China. Moments later, two Canadians held in China were also freed and put on flights back to Canada in what many are describing as hostage diplomacy by the People's Republic of China. The United States had indicted Wanzhou and Huawei for bank fraud but dropped the indictment against her at least, having reached a deferred prosecution agreement with her in which she gave statements that may be used against Huawei. To go over all of the angles, Benjamin Wittes sat down with Pete Strzok, former deputy head of counterintelligence at the FBI; Julian Ku, a professor of law at Hofstra University School of Law; and Leah West of Carleton University in Canada.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

The early years after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War produced a new consensus among western elites that it was now a good thing to do business with China and develop cultural relations.  A fascinating film from 1990 illustrates this moment of history, Bethune: The Making of A Hero, starring Donald Sutherland as Norman Bethune, the real-life Canadian communist doctor who died in China in 1939 providing medical aid to Mao's 8th Army as it battled the invading Japanese. Bethune was a swash-buckling humanitarian who became a revered figure of the Chinese Revolution, and later a sanctified Canadian national hero, too. This 18-million dollar movie was a co-production of Canadian and Chinese state partners, and was at the time the most expensive Canadian film ever produced. An ambitious but flawed film, the production was marred by a power struggle between the Canadians involved in the project, the film's star, actor Donald Sutherland and its screenwriter, Ted Allan. I've recently written about Bethune: The Making of a Hero in a piece for Passage magazine titled “After The Cold War, China and Canada United to Honour Norman Bethune." https://readpassage.com/after-the-cold-war-china-and-canada-united-to-honour-norman-bethune/ Joining Sweater Weather to talk about Bethune: Making of a Hero is Paul Jay. Paul Jay is a journalist and filmmaker, the founder and host of TheAnalysis.News, a video and audio current affairs show. He is past chair of the Documentary Organization of Canada, as well as a founding chair of the Hot Docs! Canadian International Documentary Festival.  Happily for us, Paul is also the nephew of Ted Allan, the screenwriter of Bethune, and he offers a unique perspective on the film as well as its political, economic and historical background.

Joanna Chiu, who covers China-Canada relations for the Star, joins This Matters to discuss the state of relations between the two nations, and the issues that are causing friction between them. With a number of issues that seemed to stem from the Canadian arrest of Meng Wanzhou and the subsequent detaining and imprisonment of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, that spat has coloured all interactions between the countries since. Add to that, global geopolitical and business tensions have now been exacerbated by recent developments like the new security law in Hong Kong and U.S. President Donald Trump two recent executive orders to ban WeChat and TikTok, and it’s clear that these issues show little sign of subsiding.

The fourth installment of the Edgerton Series on Responding to a Rising China, featuring Dr. Jeffrey Wasserstrom of UC Irvine and Joanna Chiu of the Toronto Star on the future of Hong Kong. July 1, 2020, marks the 23rd anniversary of the handover of Hong Kong. In that time, a lot has changed for the territory. In 1997, about one in five Hong Kong residents identified as Chinese as opposed to “Hongkonger.” That number eventually grew to one in three identifying as Chinese, but as Beijing has begun to erase the lines between Hong Kong and the mainland, local attitudes are beginning to shift. As of 2019, nine in 10 primarily identified as Hongkongers. Over the past few years, we've seen protesters take the streets of Hong Kong to push back against the erosion of their freedoms. Join us as we discuss the current state of Hong Kong, what its future might look like, and what the United States can do to best support the people of Hong Kong going forward. The Edgerton Series on Responding to a Rising China aims to provide proactive and forward-looking solutions to some of the most complex local, regional, and global issues facing the United States and China today, through regular engagement in debates and discussions with the foremost experts in Chinese affairs. The Edgerton Series is made possible by generous support from the Edgerton Foundation. We thank Dr. Bradford and Ms. Louise Edgerton for their continued support of and dedication to the Pacific Council.

The hosers say “hanky panky” more than they were prepared for, and determine having a tow-truck driver as a neighbour is riskier than once thought in episode 22: Huawei or the Highway. This week’s Double Double sees Jagmeet Singh Tik Tok his way into trending and #rebelmedia does a thing. We consensually explore the implications of Trudaddy’s bare ass in Kent Monkman’s new highly controversial painting, and ponder the future of China-Canada relations after Meng Wanzhou’s debated ruling in Canadian court. We then dive into the unexpected, yet very real danger of trucking turf wars, and talk about the deplorable conditions of some Ontario care homes, recently reported by the Canadian Armed Forces. We end on the Absolute Unit, a delightful hybrid of Calgary Bro and Florida Man who delivers sage advice.

John Ivison joins Scott to discuss how the Prime Minister should move forward in regards to its relationship with China and how the the fallout from the B.C. Supreme Court ruling on Meng Wanzhou can influence those decisions. Guest: John Ivison, Columnist, National Post. - Premier Doug Ford said the Ontario government will take over five more long-term care homes around the Greater Toronto Area amid the coronavirus pandemic. Many people want to know who will be held accountable for the state of the homes in question, and what that accountability will look like.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - The Admiral Norman case. MPs from all parties agreed to apologize to Admiral Mark Norman, but before the motion was passed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Defence Harjit Sajjan walked out.​ Liberal dominated parliamentary defence committee refused to call Admiral Norman to testify before the committee, even though what he might have been able to speak to would have been severely restricted. What still lies ahead as far as the Admiral Norman case is concerned and: Justin Trudeau worries about U.S. states passing anti-abortion legislation. Such legislation won't see the light of day in Canada, so why is Trudeau suggesting he worries? Money laundering in British Columbia. A public inquiry and an extremely concerned Prime Minister.

The decision by the Trump Administration to impose tariffs on China and demand changes to the bilateral trade and investment policies has had serious consequences for U.S.-China relations. But the fallout has not been limited to U.S. China relations. This podcast with Jeremy Paltiel explores the rising tensions in the bilateral relationship, or more broadly the relationship of ‘China and the West’. With Jeremy I explore the rising tensions in the Canada-China relationship arising from the U.S. request to Canadian authorities to extradite Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies and the daughter of its founder Ren Zhengfei. The detention has met with a strong Chinese reaction including Beijing charging two Canadians arrested in China on December 10th of stealing sensitive state secrets in tandem. The Canadian pair is Michael Kovrigand Michael Spavor. Additionally, Canada’s ambassador to China, and a former politician, John McCallum, was forced to resign for what were perceived to be inappropriate statements. Jeremy is Professor of political science at Carleton University in Ottawa and was visiting professor at the department of international relations at Tsinghua University in Beijing in 2009. He has published widely on subjects relating to China and its foreign relations, including on the political economy of transition to market economies, management training in the People’s Republic of China, and comparison of business culture in China and Canada. This podcast explores the consequences of the rising tensions in China-U.S. relations and the spillover to the relations between China and other states in the ‘West’.

Daily News Brief for Tuesday, March 5: *)Refugees stream out of last Daesh enclave in Syria Aid officials say a camp in northeastern Syria is on the brink of collapse because of the flood of refugees fleeing the last Daesh territory in the country. The Al Hol camp is now home to some 45,000 people. The Red Cross says several thousand more - mainly women and children - are arriving every day, with "no end in sight." The new arrivals are fleeing Baghouz in the east, where the remnants of Daesh in Syria are battling US-backed SDF militants. *)Guaido returns to Venezuela Self-proclaimed interim president of Venezuela, Juan Guaido, has returned home after a tour of several Latin American neighbours. He was trying to drum up support for what President Nicolas Maduro is calling an attempted coup orchestrated by the US. Four years of economic recession in Venezuela have plunged the country further into poverty, with some 2.7 million people fleeing the country. *)China-Canada spat continues China is accusing two detained Canadians of stealing state secrets. That, just days after Canada announced it will proceed with a US extradition request for Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou. The US is accusing tech giant Huawei of violating US trade bans and building spyware into its hardware. The company says the US is terrified of China's increasing tech reach. *)Second Canadian minister quits over scandal A second minister has resigned from Canada’s cabinet as a corruption scandal deepens. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and some members of his government are under fire for allegedly trying to shield a major Canadian company accused of corruption in its dealings with Libya. And finally, *)US to end trade preferences for Turkey The US has announced it will end a preferential tariff system for Turkey, which is meant to bolster the trading prospects of developing nations. Washington said the move was due to Turkey’s economy becoming sufficiently developed. President Trump told US lawmakers that Washington "remains committed to fair and reciprocal trade with Turkey." The program allowed some Turkish exports to enter the United States duty-free. Trump has made "America first" a key plank of his economic nationalism.

Yesterday, Trudeau lost another member of his cabinet with the resignation of JanePhilpott. She cited ‘losing confidence in how the government” dealt with the SNC Lavalin case and with Jody Wilson Raybould. Guest - Peter Woolstencroft, Associate Professor, University of Waterloo. (Expertise, Conservative Parties of Canada, Canadian provincial politics, Elections) Gerald Butts will give his testimony tomorrow in regards to the SNC Lavalin case. Is he going to help or hinder the case? ALSO: Philpotts resigns. Guest - Tim Powers, Vice-Chairman, Summa Strategies (has served as an advisor to a national party leader and federal cabinet ministers) The PM says he's very concerned as China accuses the two detained Canadians of trying to steal state secrets. How is this going to badly impact China-Canada relations?

This week we explore the recent arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou and what's happened to China-Canada relations. What is the big deal and why are people getting so upset about it? Find out in this episode! Don't forgot to tune in next week for our continuation on China regarding their status in Science and Technology. Is China a science and tech superpower or do they have some room to grow still?

Yesterday, China announced that a Canadian man will face the death sentence for drug smuggling. How is this going to hamper Canada-China relations? Guest - Hugh Stephens, Distinguished Fellow, Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada , Fellow, Canadian Global Affairs Institute  China has rebuked our Prime minister's statements saying he needs to stop with his ‘irresponsible remarks' and has now warned its citizens about travel to Canada. Trudeau said that China is acting arbitrarily and our foreign ministry is warning citizens about travel to China. Guest - Michael Taube, Troy Media syndicated, columnist, and Washington Times contributor. With the discussion about China, the opioid crisis came to mind. Who are the big players when it comes to China? Can Canada do anything about it? Who are the big players? Guest - Sam Cooper, National Online Journalist, Investigative, Global News Hamilton has chosen to opt into having pot retail shops, and so did Kitchener, Waterloo, St. Catharines, St. Thomas. However, was the approach the Ontario government took a good one? Guest - Michael Armstrong, Associate Professor, Goodman School of Business, Brock University

What's up with Huawei?  We will talk about some of the reasons that the US is very unhappy with them. What is the next big risk to your privacy? Listen in and I will explain why you must be concerned with your child's video game habits. Is anonymous data really anonymous? Today we will discuss what MIT has found in researching anonymous data.  What information are your apps storing? We will talk about what information they store and share. Are your kids spending an inordinate amount of time on their smartphones?  We will discuss some research that MIT is doing and what it has uncovered about the development of their brains.  These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Transcript: Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors. Airing date: 12/29/2018 Your Information Is Never Really Anonymous Craig Peterson: 0:00 Hey Hi everybody. Craig Peterson here. Thanks for joining us today. We are also, of course, posting the video online. We're trying to get the live streaming work that may or may not work. But you know what the heck, it's the last week of the year. And really the last show of the year too. Craig Peterson 0:21 I guess it is both, isn't it? And so you will maybe next year that gives us what 52 shows next year to get it right. And speaking of 52 shows, this is show number 987. That's 987 weeks worth of shows many weeks. We have multiple shows. But we stick to the one a week nomenclature because it's just amazing. This I don't use daily show counts and daily show numbers Craig Peterson 0:48 and our viewership is up of course because we're starting to post some of the videos we have a lot of this narrow insider site that you can find online right now it's free, but it is going to be a paid thing eventually. And also you will find some of this stuff up on YouTube and on Facebook where we're trying to get out there more to help more people so little itchy. Today though we've got a few things to talk about security wise Huawei course you heard all of the uproar and we saw the market kind of not being quite sure what to do when while ways I think she was or is there CFO was arrested in Canada when she was changing planes. And apparently, that was at the request of the United States because of a few different things. Now they talked in the media about one of them, which was a Huawei apparently sold technology to Iran. That was counter to our trade agreement with them with China with many other countries that when we have this embargo against Iran, they shouldn't be trading but there are six other reasons here. We'll talk about today about Huawei. In case you're wondering what company I'm talking about Huawei is spelled H-U-A-W-E-I, okay, this is Huawei is how it is pronounced. So we'll be talking about that we're going to talk about a groundbreaking studying that has examined the effects of screen time on kids. I remember when I was a kid, they were all worried about how much time we spend in front of a TV. And, you know, it probably didn't do me any good project early, maybe a lot of harm, hard to tell. But what's happening now that these kids of ours have iPads, on iPhones and on our grandkids? And how about the generations beyond. Craig Peterson 2:46 And to that end of the next big, big risk to your privacy is your child's video game habits will talk about that Craig Peterson 2:55 and how that's going to affect you. We got another thing here about deleting all of your apps. You talked a little bit about it a lot, a lot about it last week. But we've got more information on a do want to know that people to know that you stopped at Planned Parenthood. And I mentioned this as a fact. And guess what comes out in Fast Company. Craig Peterson 3:18 Yes, yet another confirmation of what Craig said urban planners and researchers at MIT found that it's shockingly easy to re-identify the anonymous data that people generate all day, every day in our cities. I mentioned this a few weeks back Craig Peterson 3:40 because it's been obvious to me, Craig Peterson 3:43 just like with 23 me thing, remember, I was telling you about a major pharmaceutical company investing 300 million into 23 and me and using that money to gain access to the data that 23andme has. And some people are upset about that some people are concerned. Should they care what the heck, right? Craig Peterson 4:04 And people say, well, it's anonymized. It doesn't really matter. And yet, we have seen the data already from these DNA research firms being used against us. You remember the arrest out in California, that serial killer, the guy was a cop and he had been a cop I'm apparently nowadays his brain isn't quite all there. But they've found him not because he put his DNA and DNA bank but because the information on the DNA bank pointed to someone that might be a close relative of, of this family member being the killer. So they investigated more investigated more, and they found the killer right. And he's up on charges. I don't think he's been convicted yet. But they have the DNA evidence for from the case. Now 23 and me I use and I used it for both of its features. One the ancestry which proved everything I already knew, which was I'm not the milkman to kid but I am mostly Norwegian, and then North-Western European, as in Ireland, Scotland, UK, Wales, all that area. So that's me. And that's kind of what we figured. And then from a health standpoint, I got lots of very good news on I don't have any of the genetic mutations that cause disease. So I wouldn't be able to pass those on to my kids. And I'm unlikely to get sick in my older age, which is very good news. And it's stuff that a lot of people are interested in. Or you might be interested in that too. I have a friend of mine Craig Peterson 5:48 whose wife came back as having one of the genetic markers for a higher tendency to have breast cancer. And I know some people, including some movie stars that have had both breasts removed, because they had to genetic markers for breast cancer. So there's a lot of good things that come of that. Craig Peterson 6:08 And there are also good things that are coming from the research in DNA because it's not as though we have this massive book here that says, Well, this DNA strand means this. And this one means that and if you have this one, and that one, but not this one, then this is going to happen. But if you have this, that in this other one, this will happen. We don't have any event, the only way we know anything about DNA is trial and error. And when it comes to animals and plants, we've been using DNA research for a long Craig Peterson 6:39 time, we've looked at RNA and RNA blocking our an AI, all of this stuff. It's, it's fascinating if everyone to study it, it's just absolutely fascinating. But when it comes to us, as humans, you can't just go ahead and turn off a DNA strand and see what happens. We don't want to do that. Because that might be lethal fatal. Craig Peterson 7:00 And who's going to volunteer for a test like that, just turn off the strand. See what happens, turn off that one, it's fine to do that with violets. And then we found in the violence we could make a purple violet white, which is really kind of interesting, but not in humans. So when humans what we have to do is study and study and study and study. And that's what the whole 23 me thing is about. They're making a lot of their money, I would guess most of their money, I haven't seen their financials, but they're making a lot of their money by selling the DNA raw data to pharmaceutical companies. Now, why do pharmaceutical companies want this DNA data, they want the data because it's important to them to see the DNA but also to get information from the other part of what 23AndMe does. And that is they asked a lot of questions. Craig Peterson 7:54 And I sat down, and I answered hundreds of questions, and that you don't have to do it all at once. I did it over the course of you know, I don't remember. It was a couple of weeks, a few weeks and answered hundreds of them. And the idea here is they asked you things like, are you balding? No, no, not balding. Well, that's good, right? Craig Peterson 8:12 Or do you have a sensitivity to sunlight? you sneeze when you go into the sunlight? And what does a particular herb tastes like to you? Can you smell that? So they're they're getting information. And then they're pulling it all together to try and figure out a precisely what does this all mean. So if everybody that sneezes when they walk into the sun has these jeans, and no one who says they don't sneeze, when they walk out into the sun has these other genes, then we're fine, right? We know we've found it. And so that's what they're doing this a lot of trial and error. And 23AndMe is constantly updating you letting you know, hey, we found this new interpretation of this particular gene or gene sequence. And so they let you know, and they say, here's what changed, or they got more information on some family ancestry. They found some older DNA, they found another strain, they found some root DNA, they're constantly updating it. So having a company like these pharmaceutical companies, getting this information is ultimately going to be good for all of us. Because if you come down with a disease or let's say that this is an even better scenario, the odds are excellent that you're going to get a specific disease. So what they've done is they look at the DNA they say, okay, we know this DNA sequence is like 98% likely to cause this disease. So let's turn off have DNA sequence wisdom that agas Wouldn't you love to be able to do that. So they turn it off, and you will never get that disease. That's what we're aiming for. Craig Peterson 9:58 And when it comes to medications, recovery, using that some doses of this will work for one person, but you have to have a higher dose for someone else, or this drug doesn't work at all, for someone, my wife, if it's morphine, she gets really loopy and floaty and detached. And she hates feeling Craig Peterson 10:17 so you know, in surgery, they've got to use different drugs. Why isn't that the same for everybody? Well, it's not the same for everyone, because of DNA, as well as some environmental conditions that could have occurred. So understanding all of this is phenomenal, is going to help us as human beings and help us on the earth, it's going to be great, okay, ultimately, ultimately, rough roads between the here and there in the future. But ultimately, it's going to be really, really good. Craig Peterson 10:49 However, let's go back to the serial killer in California, he did not give his DNA and yet they were able to track him down. It's figured right now that with as little as I've seen different numbers, but let's just say 20% of the people in in the United States have 20% of the people in the United States have their DNA analyzed, and it's in a database, they will be able to find 100% of any one of people, anybody if they have a DNA sample. In other words, if someone commits a crime, and they don't have their DNA on file, Craig Peterson 11:33 they will have 100% chance of finding that person. Well, not quite 100, but really, really, really close to 100, because what they'll be able to do is the same thing they did with the with the serial killer. And that is used some statistical analysis on the DNA to figure out what family tree this person is from because they'll know the sex. And right now they know that I'm not balding, just based on the DNA that I'm unlikely to. They know for my DNA, that I have slightly wavy hair, they know all of this stuff. So they'll be able to do a portrait. And there is some really cool work underway that takes your DNA and just from DNA, create a 3d image of what that person is likely to look like. And it is on Tanni if you've seen absolutely uncanny how close they're able to get. So with the DNA, they can tell all kinds of physical attributes, they can even create an almost a photo of that person. Of course, there's other factors, again, environmental, etc. But it's pretty darn close. And then on top of it, it's okay. This person is obviously part of the Peterson family. And we the specifically a family from New Hampshire and this area, and they will be able to narrow right down and say, Hey, do you have an uncle? Craig Peterson 12:57 And the answer? Yeah, why? Where does he live? Craig Peterson 13:02 Does he look something like this? And this is months away, frankly, just months away, not the 20% of people having their DNA tested and put on file. But being able to do the rest of this have a picture generated that, more or less looks like the person involved much better than these police sketches from people who are just trying to recall what that person looks like, in most cases, right. Craig Peterson 13:30 So you can take anonymized data and on anonymize it, re-identify the people. And depending on what the data is, you're going to use different techniques. But when it comes to DNA, we just explained how that works. But the same things true with calling histories, etc. You know, if you're constantly calling numbers in 603, area, code, 805 area code 212 area code, we know that you probably have some ties there. And then we dig into those phone numbers. And we find from those phone numbers, more information about who they are, what they do, oh, wait a minute, these people are part of a family. And they're the only family group that appears to be called from this phone number. So we put all this together. And we know how to again, re-identify you that you are part of this family. This is where you live. Craig Peterson 14:30 And that's what's been happening with the NSA data collection on just taking basic data points. Even if they don't have the phone numbers, right, Craig Peterson 14:38 the cell towers that were involved with your phone, they'll know where you work and where you live, because you're going to be pinging that same cell tower all of the time. So be very careful. This group of MIT scientists and urban planners are shown in the study that it's really fairly simple to figure out who is who, anyway, so anonymized data can be D anonymize pretty quickly even when you're working with multiple data sets inside of a city. Well, particularly, excuse me when you're working on that. Craig Peterson 15:09 So they did the test I said, in the end, it took a week to match 17% of the users and 11 weeks to get 95% accuracy rate. And with the added GPS data from smartphones took less than a week to hit the 95% accuracy. So kind of keep that in mind. You just don't have privacy anymore. And there they can D anonymize data. It's happened before. So be careful and think twice about the whole DNA thing. You know, already I've done it, I think it's going to be an amazing benefit to society is going to save lives, save pain, help people avoid misery, so I'm definitely going to do it. And I don't like the excuse of, well, you know, it's, it's going to happen anyways, I don't like the excuse of, well, I haven't committed any crimes anyways, you know, then those I don't think are legitimate because this data could be misused against us, just like having passport number stolen, we talked about last week can be used in your credit cards, your identity. And if you read that special report that I've sent out, you know that all of that information is out there, and the bad guys are using it, right. Craig Peterson 16:26 So we know where do you draw the line here? That's that's the big question. Craig Peterson 16:32 Well, hot segment when little bit long. Let's get into the rest of these. You only got about 10 minutes left here in the show. 12 minutes left today. Delete all your apps. We talked last week about the article that came out in the New York Times. This is an article from motherboard you'll see up on my website at http://CraigPeterson.com. Craig Peterson 16:53 but they go into more detail. They're talking about sensitive stops at hospitals, Planned Parenthood, various other places, do you want your employer to have that information? Because remember, now most of us get our insurance or health insurance or more employers do we want them to know that we've been making trips to this type of doctor, that type of doctor, etc, right? How much that information is going to be available in a pre-employment report where they are looking at you as a possible employee, and they find that you're doing something that might end up costing them a lot of money that might end up causing you to not be able to get to work very often, right? How far do you want this all to go? So the New York Times did publish a guide to managing restricting location on specific apps, I told you already how to do that, that might be well worth us doing as well, the best way to guarantee privacy, but the, again, the best platform to maintain your privacy. And this shouldn't be a shock to anybody. Craig Peterson 18:00 iOS, iOS does a much better job when it comes to informing you about the GPS tracking and also cell tower tracking and allowing you to turn it off. So make sure you go into security and privacy whether it's an iPhone or an Android Craig Peterson 18:17 phone and turn off the tracking or at least do what I do, which is turn it on only one I'm using the app. And of course, the big tip here is guys and gals delete apps you aren't using. Most of us have apps I have a ton of half I caught for free, right. So I just haven't I bought them I bought them quote-unquote, bought them because they were free. Why wouldn't I, it's a cool app, I might use it and it's sitting there on Craig Peterson 18:47 my phone Craig Peterson 18:48 taking up space. Now in the iOS world. It'll automatically offload from your phone if you don't use it and it needs the space which is great iOS has some of the best memory batteries management software out there it's they've done a great job on that but still delete apps you weren't using well let's talk about another big risk of your privacy This is from Market Watch carry Paul wrote this article again it's up on http://CraigPeterson.com. Craig Peterson 19:15 I try and make sure all of the articles I talked about and I curator up on my website as well. And I just I give you a little bit of a summary here and then you can click through gives you a link to the original article. But this article is kind of interesting because it's telling you to be careful who you play with. online gaming is a growing target for hackers. A new report from identity theft protection, firm experience. Yeah, that's kind of funny, isn't it? They found cybercriminals are increasingly posing as gamers to gain access to the computers and personal data. That's players. Craig Peterson 19:51 We're not trying to imply that all gamers are hackers but they do live in an anonymous environment, have good computer skills and are in an industry with billions in revenue. So be very careful about that. The gaming business is worth about 4 billion annual revenue globally which is quite big and cybercriminals can easily pose a gamer or take over an avatar the info to infiltrate games and communities they still personal credit card information, valuable game pieces, and tokens according to experience report. Craig Peterson 20:29 So, be very careful because your kids playing games can come in and you to right, we got a lot of 30 somethings that played video games, maybe a little bit too much talking about games and online does talk about screen time, Craig Peterson 20:45 Apple introduced a new feature with iOS 12 that tells you week per week if your screen time one up or one down. I think that's great. And kind of, you know, brings it into mind. Now, in my case, it's a little inaccurate, because, frankly, use my iPad and I use my phone to read books. I have the Kindle app on their plots. I read PDFs and other things. So yeah, that that's good. It's bad. But let's talk about our kids. Craig Peterson 21:13 This is from CBS News. Again, up on http://CraigPeterson.com. 60 minutes goes inside a landmark government study of young minds SC of phones, tablets, and other screens are impacting adolescent brain development. Craig Peterson 21:28 So if you have kids and wonder if they're spending time on their smartphones, and it's causing problems, the National Institutes of Health launched the most ambitious study of adolescent brain development ever attempted. They have 21 sites across the country, and they were following nine and 10-year-old kids and scanning their brains are going to follow more than 11,000 kids for 10 years and spend $300 million doing it. I guess I'd follow some kids for $300 million. Craig Peterson 22:00 So here's what they've learned so far, they haven't released it yet, obviously. But the focus when they started talking about doing the study was tobacco, marijuana, all drugs. The screen time component really came into play because we were wondering what is the impact the first wave of data from the scans of 4500 participants is in and it has the Dowling of the doctor Dahlia, the NIH, and other scientists and treating the MRI is found significant differences in the brains of some kids who use smartphones, tablets, and video games more than seven hours a day, Craig Peterson 22:40 Dr. Dowling says. What we can say is that this is what brains look like of kids who spend a lot of time on screen now there's pictures of these brain scans in this article, again, up on my website. It's really fascinating so that it's color-coded, showing the differences in these brains Craig Peterson 23:00 thinning of the cortex, which is the outermost layer of the brain that processes information from your five senses is going on. It's it's really, really bad, multinational process. They're doing a lot. If you want to find out more, check it out online at http://CraigPeterson.com. And we've got about four minutes left. Craig Peterson 23:21 So let's go into Huawei. My gosh, so you know that her name is Ming one, zero. I guess she's how Huawei CFO the daughter of its founder. And it's caused some real tensions between China Canada in the United States. That's not why we're getting go get into this right now. Her Ras and everything. They're just a matter of public record, you can find it quite easily bought Huawei, US sky calm tech, which is a company that deals with a rainy and telecom firms to sell Huawei equipment to Iran, in contravention of US sanctions on the country. That was apparently between 2009 and 2014. So we remember where the Obama administration gave billions of dollars to Iran. We did have some sanctions in place. They were kind of lifted, they've been put back in place. So China is saying that her detention was a human rights violation. But let's talk about why this matters. Huawei is very big in the telecommunications business, not just in, you know, the cell phones, but the very big telecommunications for the equipment that the carriers use base stations antennas that are the world's largest manufacturer, mobile operators use these to run the wireless networks. They carry information that helps run control grids at manufacturing firms. Craig Peterson 24:54 Think about everything that goes through the cell towers and what Comcast has an etc, etc. Craig Peterson 25:02 Well, that's why the United States said we're worried. And so they started looking into it more. And they found out that looked like Huawei. Not only was it controlled by the People's Liberation Army of China, that communist government over there, but they had been putting spy equipment, software hardware into things, all kinds of crazy allegations, but backdoors could be used for data snooping it this goes on for on the non-close inspections are missing. And you heard about what happened with the allegations are super micro and the infiltration into Google and Apple. It is really, really crazy. And now we've got the rollout of 5g wireless networks coming and while always right in the middle of that rollout. So we're very worried that Huawei could quite easily be used as a vehicle to launch attacks by the Chinese government. While ways obviously not immune to influences from the Chinese Communist government. They are saying, Hey, listen, we're just a company. Well, yeah, your company owned by the People's Liberation Army of China. We know some of the things, the atrocious things the Communist Chinese have been doing to its citizens, Craig Peterson 26:18 not just the tens of millions, that they starve to death we're talking about today. Right now, if you speak out against the government, you get blacklisted. You can't even get on a train. You can't get on a plane, you can't go anywhere. It can't do anything because you said something that the government doesn't agree with. So this is a real big Craig Peterson 26:38 concern. And then add on top of that the fact that the Chinese government considers the cyber war to be full out warfare and they have a huge cyber war department and I forget what the name of it is. It's a number that they're using. We had a briefing on that with the in regard but they are using cyber warfare as a way to attack other countries including the United States. So if we have Huawei equipment critical to our communications and China decides to shut down our communications the impact could be horrific. So there are a lot of reasons why we don't want while way to be doing what they're doing and why we issued an arrest warrant that Canadians us to seize hers she was changing plane so this article Craig Peterson 27:34 and more course right there on http://CraigPeterson.com.
