Canadian PM to visit Turkiye for first time as Ottawa seeks to lessen US dependence

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to travel to Turkiye later this month for talks with President Tayyip Erdogan as Ottawa seeks to reduce its reliance on the US, Reuters reported on 2 October.

One source familiar with the matter said that talks between the two leaders could cover the free trade negotiations they launched at the NATO summit in Ankara in July, as well as potential energy and defense cooperation. Two sources said both countries' trade ministers agreed this week to "speed up" those negotiations before the meeting.

It's interesting that Canada, just like all other politically captured states, keeps "seeking to lessen US dependence" and the way to do that, apparently, is to double down on virtually all policies dictated by the US. I guess it has to be 4D chess. Or maybe even 5D, who knows?!
