Carney just handed Beijing a lever, and it makes Greenland matter more

Prime Minister Mark Carney just said the quiet part out loud in Beijing.

“I believe the progress we have made and the partnership sets us up well for the new world order.”

That is not normal language for a Canadian leader talking about a relationship with the Chinese Communist Party. It is the kind of phrase you use when you are signaling alignment, not just trade. And when Canada signals alignment with Beijing, the strategic map for North America changes fast.

Because Canada is not just “a neighbor.” Canada is the roof over America’s head.

If Beijing gets a comfortable, normalized political lane into Canada, it does not just gain markets. China gains proximity. It gains influence. They gain access points. It gains the ability to run economic pressure, intelligence collection and long game infrastructure plays from a country that shares the world’s longest border with the United States.

That is why Greenland suddenly becomes more valuable, not as a fantasy purchase, but as a hard security asset.

Canada is the soft underbelly of the continent

The United States can posture in the Pacific and still miss the simplest threat line: the north.

The northern approaches matter because missiles do not care about land borders. Routes over the Arctic are direct. Early warning matters. Seconds matter. The difference between detection and impact is not politics. It is physics.

Canada has historically been part of the US security architecture in that space. When Ottawa starts flirting with Beijing using “new world order” language, it injects risk into that architecture.

Even if Carney swears this is just economics, Beijing does not do “just economics.” It does leverage. That is the whole model.

Greenland is not a trophy, it is a sensor

Greenland sits where the Arctic and Atlantic meet, between North America and Europe. And the United States already operates a critical installation there: Pituffik Space Base.

That base is not about tourism or flag planting. It is about missile warning, missile defense support and space surveillance. In plain English: it helps spot threats earlier and track what is flying toward North America.

So when Canada signals a deeper partnership with Beijing, Greenland becomes the outside hedge. It is a place the US can harden, expand and rely on without asking Ottawa’s permission.

That does not mean “first strike.” It means deterrence and defense. It means keeping the warning lights working, keeping the radar eyes open and keeping adversaries unsure they can pull off a surprise.

China is openly playing in the Arctic, and Russia never stopped

Beijing publicly calls itself a “near Arctic state” and issued an Arctic policy that spells out its intent to participate in Arctic governance, shipping routes and resource development.

Russia, meanwhile, treats the Arctic as home turf. It has geography on its side and it has been expanding activity and posture in the region for years.

Put those together and you have two powers probing the top of the world for influence, routes, resources and strategic advantage. The Arctic is not a science project anymore. It is a competition space.

Carney’s China line is not just bad optics, it is a strategic tell

Here is what makes this worse.

Carney has not been consistent. In 2025, he publicly described China as a major foreign interference and geopolitical threat to Canada, including in the Arctic. Now he is praising Xi’s leadership and talking about strategic partnership and a new world order.

So which is it?

If China is a threat, you do not talk about “strategic partnership” like you are joining a club.
If China is a partner, stop pretending Canada is being “clear eyed.”

You cannot run national security on vibes. Canada cannot treat Beijing like a threat at home and a friend on foreign soil. You either understand what it is, or you do not. And if you do understand it and still choose the cozy language, then you are hiding your intentions.

I warned Canada about this play

Back in May 2025, I called Carney what he is: a globalist operator built for elite rooms, not national sovereignty. Today, we are watching the consequences in real time.

When a leader sells the public on “progress” and “partnership” with the CCP, what he is really selling is dependence. And dependence always turns into permission.

Canada does not need permission from Beijing. Canada needs clarity about what kind of world it wants to live in.

Bottom line

Carney’s Beijing remarks are not a harmless gaffe. They are a signal flare.

If Canada chooses deeper alignment with China, the US will adjust. It will lean harder on independent nodes like Greenland. They will treat the Arctic as a sharper front line. It will push for stronger posture where it has direct control and fewer political tripwires.

And Canada will find out the hard way that you cannot be the United States’ shield while serving as Beijing’s welcome mat.

That is not “a new world order.” That is just a new vulnerability.
