In an era marked by rapid global economic shifts and rising uncertainties, the concept of "China Opportunity 2.0" has emerged as a symbol of new possibilities for international trade and innovation.全球经济格局快速变革、不确定性持续攀升的当下，“中国机遇 2.0” 这一概念应运而生，成为国际贸易与创新发展全新机遇的象征。While some China doomsters have expressed "anxiety" over China's advances in technology and industrial innovation, even promoting the narrative of a so-called "China Shock 2.0" that groundlessly frames China's development as a "threat" to the global economy, the reality is that "China Opportunity 2.0", as Chinese Premier Li Qiang said last week, represents comprehensive innovation-driven empowerment and high-return investment prospects. Speaking at the 17th Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum in Northeast China's coastal city of Dalian, Li underscored China's potential to offer high-return investment prospects and its fostering of mutually beneficial technological collaboration worldwide.部分唱衰中国的人士对中国技术与产业创新进步心存 “焦虑”，甚至炒作所谓 “中国冲击 2.0” 论调，毫无依据地将中国发展视作全球经济 “威胁”。但事实正如国务院总理李强上周所言，“中国机遇 2.0” 代表着全方位创新赋能与高回报投资前景。李强在中国东北沿海城市大连举办的第十七届世界经济论坛新领军者年会（夏季达沃斯论坛）上发表讲话，着重指出，中国具备提供高回报投资机遇的潜力，并致力于推动全球互利共赢的技术合作。The ongoing visit to China of David Eby, premier of Canada's British Columbia province, serves as a testament to the substantive appeal of "China Opportunity 2.0". Eby has stressed that the purpose of his trip is to strengthen British Columbia's ties with China as a strategic move to diversify the province's trade relationships.加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省（卑诗省）省长尹大卫正在访华，此次行程充分印证了 “中国机遇 2.0” 实实在在的吸引力。尹大卫强调，此行旨在深化卑诗省与中国的联系，以此作为实现本省贸易多元化的战略举措。"We're seeking to reduce our reliance on the United States and obviously, Asian markets have been a major focus for us," Eby told the media last week before embarking on his first China trip on Saturday. This includes the goal of doubling trade to non-US markets within the next 10 years. "China will be part of that," he added.尹大卫上周六开启首次访华之旅前向媒体表示：“我们希望降低对美国市场的依赖，亚洲市场显然是我们的重点开拓方向。” 卑诗省计划未来十年将对非美市场贸易规模翻一番，他补充道：“中国将是这一布局的重要组成部分。”By targeting key sectors such as forestry products, energy — specifically liquefied natural gas development — and tourism, he is seeking to unlock new avenues for growth and job creation in British Columbia. This aligns with the principles of "China Opportunity 2.0", which emphasizes mutual benefits and shared development.尹大卫此行聚焦林产品、能源（重点为液化天然气开发）、旅游等核心领域，力求为卑诗省开辟全新增长路径、创造就业岗位，这与 “中国机遇 2.0” 倡导互利共赢、共同发展的内核高度契合。The visit follows Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's trip to China earlier this year, the first by a Canadian prime minister in eight years. Carney's visit laid the groundwork for the healthy development of China-Canada relations, with multiple cooperation agreements signed across trade, customs, energy, construction, culture and public security. Eby's trip builds on this momentum, signaling a proactive approach to deepening collaboration and exploring innovative opportunities. According to Canadian media, his itinerary includes Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.此次访华紧随加拿大总理马克・卡尼今年早些时候的对华之行，这是八年来加拿大总理首次访华。卡尼访华为中加关系健康发展奠定基础，双方在经贸、海关、能源、基建、文化、公安等多个领域签署多项合作协议。尹大卫此行延续双边合作向好势头，释放出加方主动深化合作、挖掘创新合作机遇的积极信号。据加拿大媒体消息，尹大卫此行将到访北京、上海、广州三座城市。The strategic sectors targeted for collaboration are indicative of a balanced approach that prioritizes mutual benefits and sustainable growth.双方敲定的重点合作领域，体现出兼顾互利共赢、可持续发展的均衡合作思路。China-Canada relations have experienced ups and downs in recent years, but there are no territorial disputes or clash of fundamental interests between the two countries, and they can become partners for achieving mutual success.近年来中加关系历经起伏，但两国不存在领土争端，核心利益也无根本冲突，完全可以成为互利共赢的合作伙伴。This year marks the 56th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Canada, as well as the 21st anniversary of the establishment of their strategic partnership. It is an important chance to reflect on the past and think about the future. Eby's visit shows that an objective and rational attitude toward China is conducive to strengthening cooperation with a positive and open spirit. Reinforcing this, Canada's Minister of International Trade Maninder Sidhu recently revealed in a media interview that he plans to meet with his Chinese counterpart this fall.今年是中加建交 56 周年，也是两国建立战略伙伴关系 21 周年，是回望过往、共谋未来的重要契机。尹大卫此次访华印证，以客观理性态度看待中国，秉持积极开放心态，才能持续深化双边合作。加拿大国际贸易部长曼宁德・西杜近日接受媒体采访时也透露，计划于今年秋季与中方贸易主管部门负责人会晤，进一步释放合作信号。Although certain Western policymakers have been drawn into the rhetorical vortex of a purported "China Shock 2.0", the evolving arc of China-Canada ties points to the emergence of a countervailing cohort of countries that chooses to assess the situation objectively and remains open to the considerable potential of "China Opportunity 2.0".尽管部分西方政策制定者深陷所谓 “中国冲击 2.0” 的舆论漩涡，但中加关系持续向好的发展轨迹表明，越来越多国家选择客观研判形势，主动拥抱 “中国机遇 2.0” 蕴藏的巨大潜力，形成与遏制论调相悖的主流声音。As Li put it in his speech at last week's Summer Davos, to overcome the global growth challenge, innovation-driven cooperation is imperative. To this end, countries should forge closer connectivity and collaboration by joining forces and pooling resources to innovate. China possesses a complete industrial system and well-integrated industry clusters, which underpin efficient, reliable production and supply chains for businesses worldwide. By rejecting the notion of a "China Shock 2.0", countries stand to capture the vast opportunities presented by China's dynamic economy and superlarge market.正如李强总理上周在夏季达沃斯论坛演讲中所言，想要破解全球经济增长难题，创新驱动的国际合作必不可少。各国应当携手聚力、整合创新资源，深化互联互通与产业协作。中国拥有完整工业体系与高度集聚的产业集群，能够为全球企业搭建高效稳定的生产供应链。摒弃 “中国冲击 2.0” 的错误论调，各国方能共享中国蓬勃发展的经济与超大规模市场带来的海量机遇。innovation /ˌɪnəˈveɪʃn/n. 创新；革新diversification /daɪˌvɜːsɪfɪˈkeɪʃn/n. 多元化；多样化imperative /ɪmˈperətɪv/adj. 必要的；势在必行的vortex /ˈvɔːteks/n. 漩涡；舆论旋涡

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Sixty percent of the respondents to a recent Angus Reid poll said the province is on the wrong track. If there were an election today, they gave the Conservatives an 11-point lead. This is similar to what 338Canada's projections have been showing for the past month. Yet nearly 90% of the poll's respondents also said they know little or nothing about the new BC Conservative leader, Kerry-Lynne Findlay. In this morning's interview, we discuss these matters with Anna Kindy—MLA for North Island—and also play a clip from Kerry-Lynne Findlay's Twitter feed. Cortes Currents: Firstly, what do you think of the BC Conservative Party's recent surge in the polls?  Anna Kindy: "Well, it doesn't surprise me, to be honest, because we've been going in the wrong direction for a long time. When you're looking at the fiscal mess that we're in as a province right now, Premier Eby came in with a surplus, when he became premier, and here we are with $13.3 billion of deficit this year." Cortes Currents: She is referring to the province's operating deficits. According to the Vancouver Sun, “When Premier David Eby took over in 2022, B.C. was on track to post a $5.7 billion surplus for the 2022–23 fiscal year.” Instead, the government spent that money trying to address problems like the housing crisis, homelessness, and the opioid crisis. Since then, Eby's government has consistently prioritized issues like these over the budget. Aside from the two COVID years, B.C.'s previous premier, John Horgan, generally posted balanced budgets. Personally, I'm more concerned about total provincial debt, which is roughly five times larger today than it was in 2001. Under the BC Liberals, it almost doubled—going from about $34 billion in 2001 to around $65 billion by 2017. It has almost tripled under the BC NDP, moving from about $65 billion in 2017 to an anticipated $183 billion this year. Kindy correctly stated that most of the growth under the NDP occurred while David Eby has been premier. This year, the government expects to spend on interest charges. Apologists for government spending point out that provincial revenues have also grown— from $28 billion in 2001 to an anticipated $88 billion this year. Thus, as long as the economy remains strong, BC is in a better position to service a large debt. Comparing the government's expenses to those of a typical homeowner: operating surpluses and deficits are like monthly cash flow, while debt servicing is like a mortgage payment—and total provincial debt is comparable to a mortgage. Anna Kindy: “We're doubling our total deficit, and our interest payment this year alone is over six billion—and that would build a lot of care homes and hospitals and fund a lot of services that we need. That's just the interest. The interest is the third biggest portfolio. “That fiscal mess translates to having to cut back on a lot of things. So I mentioned about care homes being canceled, Burnaby Hospital expansion being canceled. I'm seeing things in the healthcare domain getting worse. The affordability crisis is continuing—in terms of being able to afford your groceries, your rent, getting ahead—especially for young people and seniors. “Even with this budget, seniors were hard hit. Not only with the cancellation of long-term care homes, but you know how seniors can borrow against their home to survive or to live. Now if they borrow against their home, they'll be paying 2% above prime, compounded interest. So that's a lot for seniors. And there are going to be taxes now on landlines—which who has landlines? Seniors do, and you do, and me. We've got a landline too. Yeah, old school - but we're seniors!" “Things are not going in the right direction in a lot of ways, and that's what's being reflected in the polls. There's a healthcare crisis getting worse, an affordability crisis, fiscal mismanagement, and still safety issues.”

Last week Carney and Eby committed up to $3.2 billion to buy 2,200+ empty Vancouver condos and stop prices from falling. I'm a BC mortgage broker, and I walk through what the money actually does, who it helps and who gets nothing, how we've done this before, the immigration and rate cuts that really caused the glut, where prices could go through 2028, and whether you should be buying right now.

This summer, we're sharing re-released episodes of rabble radio from our archives as we mark 25 years of rabble.ca. New interviews will return in September.  This week's re-released episode takes us back to November 2009 with a segment from episode 94 of rabble radio. In this archival feature, we revisit a conversation originally broadcast by Red Eye—the long-running progressive podcast that was a staple of rabble's podcast network. The interview features David Eby, then, the executive director of the BC Civil Liberties Association and now the premier of British Columbia, discussing the province's controversial plans to displace Vancouver's unhoused population ahead of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. As Vancouver takes the global stage once again, this time for the FIFA World Cup, looking back at Eby's sharp critiques of state displacement feels incredibly informative—and perhaps a little hypocritical. We also look back at a vital conversation for Pride Month. Meagan Perry speaks with Arthur Kisenyi about the legislative landscape for queer people in Uganda. Unfortunately, in the years since this interview first aired, Uganda has passed even harsher laws, making it one of the most dangerous places in the world to be queer. It's a reminder of how much is at stake, and how the fight for global queer liberation continues.

Ep 603 - More Permits, Less Talk Guest: Todd Stone, Association for Mineral Exploration BC By Stuart McNish It's taken two years of fast-talking about fast-tracking mining permits in British Columbia to get started. On April 1, 2026, the BC government promised to approve exploration permits within 40 to 140 days, depending on project complexity. If the permit isn't processed on time, it will be escalated to the chief permitting officer, who must make a decision within 14 days.   It's a part of Premier Eby's response to economic uncertainty caused by US President Donald Trump. Eby stated, “It is time to build again and we don't have a moment to waste.” He continued, “We cannot allow slow permitting processes and bureaucratic processes to delay what we know has to happen.”    It's a good start, says Todd Stone, the President of the Association for Mineral Exploration BC. However, Stone says, “Only 14.8% of mining exploration claims were processed within 120 days over the past year.” According to the AME, “BC's new Mineral Claim Staking System has created a growing backlog.” As of March 25, 2026, the AME says only 1,400 applications had been approved, while another four thousand and four hundred applications are pending.   We invited Todd Stone, the President and CEO of the Association of Mineral Exploration BC, to join us for a Conversation That Matters about our ability to seize the moment in mining.   You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/ Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca

This week on the podcast, Peter and Jackie are joined by Stewart Muir, President and CEO of Resource Works, a leading voice in Canada's natural resource sector with a focus on British Columbia. Peter and Jackie open the episode with a discussion of the latest geopolitical developments, including escalating tensions involving Iran and the resulting volatility in oil prices over the weekend, as the Strait of Hormuz opened and then quickly closed. They also review the news of Prime Minister Mark Carney's newly elected majority government, what it could mean for energy policy, and his recent video address, “Forward Guidance with Prime Minister Mark Carney.” The conversation then shifts to British Columbia, where Stewart provides insight into the province's current political landscape, starting with the controversy surrounding proposed changes to B.C.'s United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) and Premier Eby's unexpected decision not to proceed with them. Peter and Jackie also ask Stewart: Will the Major Project Office (MPO) help advance final investment decisions (FIDs) amid ongoing uncertainty around DRIPA? Is the B.C. government's proposed royalty increase hurting the competitiveness of LNG projects and investment? Is there potential for B.C. to weaken its greenhouse gas policies to better align with federal-provincial agreements, including elements of the Alberta–Canada MOU?  What is the current level of support for oil pipeline development in B.C., including among Premier Eby and Indigenous communities, particularly along the northern route?  With B.C. increasingly importing electricity and facing potential supply shortages in the future, what are the options to expand generation capacity?Content referenced in this podcast: YouTube, Forward Guidance with Prime Minister Mark Carney (April 19, 2026) Power Struggle Podcast with Stewart Muir Financial Post Opinion by Deborah Yedlin: The world has an energy problem and Canada is the solution (April 6, 2026)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

In 2019, BC premier John Horgan and his government passed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act or DRIPA. Now current premier David Eby says DRIPA poses “legal liabilities” for the government and was intending to introduce a bill to pause sections of the Act but withdrew it when it became clear that the government didn't have enough votes to make it pass. Terry Teegee is Regional Chief of the BC Assembly of First Nations and a member of The First Nations Leadership Council.

Premier David Eby backtracked on his plans to pause sections of DRIPA after around 10 MLAs within the NDP caucus said they wouldn't vote in favour of the government's amendments. We ask whether Eby has confidence from within his party and from the public and what he needs to do to get his government on track. CHEK News political correspondent Rob Shaw and political analyst Maria Dobrinskaya join the program.

Indigenous leaders in B.C. gathered in Victoria to express opposition over Premier David Eby's plans to suspend sections of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. Eby could introduce the motion as early as next week, saying it will be a confidence motion. CBC's Katie DeRosa breaks down the latest developments.
