Freeland argued that authoritarian regimes would not disappear into history as Western government had hoped and expected.
She said the hope for decades had been that creating economic ties with countries like Russia and China would lead to more openness and more democracy, but she said it is time to recognize that hasn’t proven true.
“Our own economic ties, which we thought would constrain Russian bellicosity, are instead being used to try to blunt our own response to the Kremlin’s war crimes.” “Canada remembers. Canada must and will show similar generosity and fast tracking, for example, the energy and mining projects, our allies need to heat their homes, and to manufacture electric vehicles.”Article content
Goldy Hyder, president and CEO of the Business Council of Canada, said Freeland’s speech was encouraging because it shows the government is focused on the change that is ahead. “We can’t afford an environment in which we can be held hostage to goods and products that are essential for well being.”
