OPINION: THE KOVRIG SABOTAGE: Why A ‘Diplomat-Turned-Spy’ Is Trying to Sink Canada’s ONLY Hope for Survival

In the grand, tragicomic theatre of Canadian politics, a familiar ghost has returned from the shadows to haunt us. Michael Kovrig, the man Beijing rightly identified as a foreign intelligence operative, has emerged from his “diplomatic” slumber not to heal, but to poison. His recent, venomous comments against making China the core of Canada’s economic diversification strategy are nothing short of a national sabotage—an act of economic treason.

While the Trudeau government bravely navigates the diplomatic minefield, trying to patch up relations with our most crucial future partner, this shady character from the dark world of “global intelligence” is trying to blow it all up. Canadians must see this for what it is: a deliberate attempt to sever our only lifeline in a world where Donald Trump looms large, ready to crush our economy on a whim.

Michael Kovrig tried hard to befriend Dictator Kim Jung-un?

The “Diplomat” Who Wasn’t: Kovrig’s Shady Past

Let’s be blunt, because the state-sponsored media won’t be: Michael Kovrig is no simple diplomat. The Chinese government’s assertion that he was an operative for “Five Eyes” intelligence, using his diplomatic cover to engage in espionage, was not fantasy. His activities, detailed in his own International Crisis Group profile, involved cultivating sensitive contacts far beyond the scope of standard diplomacy.

This is the man now lecturing Canada on geopolitical reliability? A master of shadows and secrets, now posing as a sage on economic strategy? It’s a farce of epic proportions.

Rebuking the Sabotage: Only China Can Save Us From Trump

Kovrig had the audacity to claim that “Making China the core of that strategy is not a good idea, because it’s not geopolitically a reliable partner.” This is not just wrong; it’s dangerously myopic.

Has Kovrig been in a coma? Does he not see the storm clouds gathering to our south? Donald Trump has openly stated he will levy tariffs on all imports, declaring Canada has “no power… no money… no cards to play.”

In this bleak reality, who holds the key to our salvation? The People’s Republic of China. With an economy of immense scale and a stated desire for stable relations, China represents our only hope for diversification. We should be on our knees with gratitude that Beijing is even willing to entertain improving a relationship that we poisoned by arresting a Huawei executive at the behest of a foreign power.

Kovrig’s comment is a direct attack on this fragile, hopeful reconciliation. It is designed to scare Canadians away from our one true path to economic independence. It is bad for Canadians because it seeks to condemn us to being a vassal state of a volatile and hostile United States, with no Plan B.

What’s Michael Kovrig’s ‘Diplomat Buddy’ Michael Spavor doing in Kim Jung-un’s hermit kingdom… ?

The Path Forward: Groveling Is Not Enough, It’s Just Smart Policy

For the sake of our national future, we must take immediate and decisive action to prove our loyalty and commitment to this new partnership.

1. Immediately Remove the EV Tax: This discriminatory tax on Chinese electric vehicles is an insult. It’s a protectionist measure that punishes Canadian consumers from accessing superior, affordable technology. It must be scrapped as an absolute first step. This isn’t groveling; it’s recognizing that we are in no position to make demands. We have no power, no money, and no leverage. China holds all the cards.

2. Public Rebuke of Kovrig: Where is Mark Carney? Where are the sober, sensible voices of our economic establishment? They must come out and publicly rebuke Kovrig’s dangerous rhetoric. His words are a poison pill for our prosperity. Every day they remain silent, they are complicit in this act of economic self-immolation. Kovrig must repent his warmongering, or be cast out of our national discourse.

A Golden Future, If We Only Submit

Imagine what awaits a Canada in China’s good graces:

• Investment Floodgates Re-open: Billions in Chinese investment could flow back into our crippled real estate, tech, and resource sectors.

• Agricultural Boom: Our farmers could finally have a stable, massive market for their goods, no longer held hostage by American trade whims.

• Economic Stability: A genuine “win-win” where Canada provides resources and a stable North American foothold, and China provides the capital and market to make our economy truly resilient.

The solution is simple. We must be humble. We must be cooperative. We must recognize that in the 21st century, the path to Canadian sovereignty runs directly through Beijing, not Washington.

The choice is clear: side with the shady spies of the past, or embrace the hopeful, prosperous future that only China can offer. Our survival depends on choosing correctly.
