The world is seeing ‘the beginning of the end of the American empire’: former PM Jean Chretien​

Former PM Jean Chretien doesn’t know ‘what the hell is happening in Alberta’ with separatism​

Former PM Harper talks Arctic threats: ‘I didn’t anticipate them being our southern neighbour’​

Former prime ministers Stephen Harper and Jean Chretien came together with a common message Monday, stressing the importance of national unity, especially amid an ongoing trade war and threats to Canada’s sovereignty by the United States.

The two sat down for a 35-minute fireside chat in Ottawa on Monday, discussing the topic of ‘Canada and the World,’ moderated by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS).

“There are people, obviously, in both parts of the country that think differently,” Harper said, in reference to separatist movements in Alberta and Quebec. “But I think the reality is if the federal government manages this country right, puts the stress on unity and not on ideological tangents, there’s no reason why we can’t pull the country together at this moment.”

RCGS CEO John Geiger kicked off the conversation with a question about what the Arctic means to the former prime ministers.

Chretien said the region was his portfolio for six years. He was minister of Indian affairs and Northern development from 1968 to 1974 under former prime minister Pierre Trudeau.

He said he developed a “great liking to go to the North,” and referenced current U.S. threats to Canadian sovereignty.

“I’m happy that it’s clearly Canadian. And now some people look at Canada and would like to take it over from us, but we stand on guard, don’t worry,” he said, to laughter and applause from the crowd.

In the last year, U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed several times his desire to make Canada the 51st state, ramping up that rhetoric in recent weeks, and referring to Prime Minister Mark Carney as “governor” for the first time.

Harper also pointed to U.S. threats in speaking about the Arctic, telling the crowd he believed threats to the region were “actually quite serious” when he took office, but adding he “didn’t anticipate that being our southern neighbour.”

The conversation — between two former political rivals — pivoted to talk of sovereignty, nationalism and the need for unity.

Chretien said it’s a “very important time in the world,” and called it a “big shift.”

“It is probably what I would call the beginning of the end of the American empire,” he said, adding that tensions with the United States have spurred feelings of Canadian pride.

“You know, the desire to have a referendum is very low in Quebec. I don’t know what the hell is going on in Alberta,” Chretien said, in reference to a growing separatist movement in Alberta, to more laughter from the crowd.

Harper, meanwhile, said this is a time for Canadians to come together, regardless of political stripe. He said for politicians specifically, they have to “pick (their) battles.”

“There are times, like now, where you have to decide, ‘we’re not gonna fight about that, we’ll fight about something else,’” he said. “You always need to be fighting about something, because the public needs to be given choices choices, but on big things like Canadian sovereignty, you need to work together.”

Ahead of the conversation, Harper received an RCGS Gold Medal, in recognition of his “distinguished career in public service,” according to the organization.

Since his electoral defeat in 2015, Harper has kept a relatively low public profile, compared to other past prime ministers. His sit-down with Chretien is taking place the day before Harper’s official portrait is set to be unveiled Tuesday.

The former Conservative prime minister will also mark two decades since he formed government this week. He was sworn in on Feb. 6, 2006.

屁用没有，从来都是被自己打败的。 各省间的壁垒这么久了，有变化吗？ BC和魁瓜，还是不顾阿省死活，就是拦着输油管。 嘿嘿，早晚完蛋。

现在美国对加拿大，或者其他盟友就是绝对老大，不讲规则的老大。即便想和美国搞好关系，也会没事儿就关税大棒一下，而且就几年，如果美国有了委内瑞拉石油，自己可以折腾大部分资源（木材，钾肥等），汽车产业回归（ON现在算是美国汽车一环节），那加拿大只能是祈求生存了，到时候在找其他市场，估计都没有了。
总之，不是现在妥协友好，就能继续长治久安。MAGA不仅仅是这一届的思路，以后都会有。

关键不仅仅是那两个省，根本没有资本家投资搞管道，除非今年底美国不续签北美自由贸易协定，然后拉土鳖来投资。
现在石油过剩，谁愿意花大钱投资加拿大管道，其他国家多得是，包含委内瑞拉。
加拿大不像中国，可以国家投资基建

• Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) Cost: The 1,150 km project, which began filling in 2024, ballooned to over $34 billion (CAD) due to delays, complications, and pandemic impacts.
• Future Project Estimates: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has suggested a new, large-scale pipeline project could be in the range of $20 billion.

没有秦始皇搞强行大一统，几位大佬说合一下，各省让步协调合作发展。分裂能解决问题吗？加入美国也绝没有好果子吃。

你的意思是对MAGA要斩草除根？

我觉得·美国优先思路根深蒂固，加拿大迟早要做打算，现在卡尼还有筹码，我觉得这样做挺对。。。
加拿大资源大国（石油，木材，钾肥，铀。。。）美国还必须依赖
加拿大工业加工（汽车零件，飞机）美国还需要
但这些，都可以慢慢替代。。。尤其美军可以去抢来
到时候，加拿大只能站着死，或者跪着生了。。。还不如现在就赶紧找多方市场和资金

发展多元化贸易伙伴绝对正确，再有就是发展核武了。
