Table Of ContentCanada – A Chinese Colony by 2040?
By Jordan C. Lewans

Are you prepared?
Although I, like many of you, have turned away from the facts for many years, they have not changed.
FACT: China is the most populous country in the world.
FACT: China is one of the hungriest countries in the world - for food, for energy,
for minerals, for fertilisers - and for power and prestige.
FACT: China's state capitalist economic system, paired with its huge population,
unrivalled manufacturing base, and major worldwide investments via the 1B1R
and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, has no major rivals or opponents that
can match it.
FACT: The USA - the world's chief leader since the implementation of the Marshall
Plan, and the undisputed hegemon since the collapse of the USSR - is in an
irreversible decline. Sky-high debts, an inability to win wars despite having the
best-trained and best-equipped military in the world, and growing internal political
issues, are making it more difficult for the USA to police the world.
Prior to AUKUS, Canada had been the USA's chief ally. However, since the election of the Liberals
under Justin Trudeau in 2015, we have been declining even faster. Whatever problems the USA faces,
they are still a major force in the world economy, due to their population size, huge military, and
influential monetary system. Canada, on the other hand, does not have these luxuries. Justin Trudeau
has said "the world needs more Canada" - but does it really? I will say soberly, as a lifelong Canadian,
the only thing the world really needs more of out of Canada is our natural resources.
Since the Kingdom of France first claimed territory on this continent, through the Industrial Revolution
and up into the twenty-first century, Canada's chief reason for existing in the world has been the
extraction and export of resources needed by other states. Although the building of Canada as we know
it today - from New France, through to Rupert's Land, British North America, and then the modern
Canadian Confederation - sometimes weighed hard on its settlers, leading us to come to believe we are
a people of resoluteness and toughness, in reality Canadians of today are a rather naive and spoiled
people. We have had the great fortune of being shielded on all sides from many of the problems of the
outside world - the Arctic Ocean to our north, the Pacific to our west, the Atlantic to our east, and our
protectors and business partners to the south. Furthermore, Canada has always been politically
associated with the then-current superpower: in the seventeenth century, it was France; in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it was Britain; in the twentieth century, it became the USA, and
remains so to the present. Currently, Canada resides in a grey zone between between being a fully
independent country, and being a U.S. territory like Puerto Rico. Given that our airspace is effectively
governed from a bunker in Colorado by NORAD, and our land mass and territorial waters are so vast
that we cannot practically enforce sovereignty on our own, Canada is only semi-independent, at the
leisure of the USA.
Although Canadian governments have periodically lost focus of this fact, it is folly to think that we can
achieve economic prosperity without the USA.
Likewise, in the twenty-first century, it is folly to think that we can prosper without
China.
I refused to believe this for years - clinging to some hope that a latter-day halcyon British
Commonwealth would emerge - combining the populations and economies of Canada, the United
Kingdom, and Australia - into a new economic force in the world, to rival the U.S., the E.U., Japan, and
China. However, Canada has drifted a long way economically and psychologically from the Britain.
This has happened in a relatively short amount of time; it was only eleven or twelve decades ago the
Union Jack flew all over this country. Australia too, sees itself as very distinct from the UK and not
simply one of its dominions. In the past eight decades, the UK has never psychologically recovered
from the transition from imperial power to ordinary state. Historians centuries from now will view the
Second Elizabethan Era as an era of failure for Britain. If our mother country is still struggling to value
its identity, Canada can hardly look to her for guidance and inspiration.
So, I certainly do not take joy or pride in stating this (that Canada cannot prosper without China). Nor
am I celebrating or giving credence to the Communist Party of China. I believe actually that the
economic power of China's state-owned enterprises will overtake that of the Communist Party itself,
and will eventually replace the Party. The Party is already slipping down to the status of figurehead.
The rise of Jinpingism is, in my view, evidence of a Party that has become insecure in its place in
present-day China, bitter that it was Chinese business (albeit state-owned) and not Party officials or
Party doctrine who lifted China to prosperity, and anxious about losing their grip of influence.
As proof of this unstoppable growth of China's economic power, I invite the reader to
visit SkyscraperPage, enter "China" into the Country tab, select "Construction" in the Status options,
and view the diagrams of all of the gigantic buildings under construction right now in China. After
viewing a few pages, contrast that with the total number of buildings under construction in Canada - or
for that matter, in the United States.
After that, return to the Search Form, select both "Construction" and "Built" to the Status tab, and
search China once more. Again, look at the number of buildings, and note their sizes. Also note the
number of buildings with names like "- Financial Centre" and "Commerce Centre".
Is it possible that most of these buildings are mostly empty? Perhaps. But it still indicates a country that
has designs on major worldwide investments, and eventually, control of the world's banking system.
Contrast this with the direction Canada has been heading.
Since 2015, Canada has at best appeared to be heading nowhere, and at worse to be sinking fast.
Under Justin Trudeau, more federal debt has been accumulated than all prime ministers before him
combined. According to my friends at DebtClock.ca, Canada is adding a billion dollars more to its
debt every 2.35 days.
Oil - one of the world's most valuable exports that Canada could offer - is a particular villain for this
government.
The Trudeau administration shrugged half-heartedly when President Biden put a stop to the
construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, in which Canadian crude oil would have been shipped to
Texas for refining.
The Northern Gateway pipeline project - which would have shipped Canadian oil to the west coast for
export - was cancelled by the Federal Court of Appeal.
Enbridge, the Calgary-based company who was going to build Northern Gateway, also found itself in a
court fight with the Government of Michigan over Line 5 - a Canadian pipeline that happened to cross
Michigan territory to Ontario.
Even though Canada is a carbon-negative country, due to our huge boreal forest, carbon gas pollution is
punitively taxed here. This is a self-inflicted wound that bleeds investment, which can readily find
more cost-effective jurisdictions. The carbon tax is supposedly revenue neutral, with cost offsets being
returned to Canadian citizens in the form of Climate Action Incentive rebates. This may make the costs
of living in a carbon-punitive jurisdiction a little easier to handle - but it does nothing to pay off our
skyrocketting debt.
I could mention more, especially those not directly related to the economy - the federal Liberals'
obsession with fighting misogny, racism, and "ciscentrism", the continued purveying of guilt regarding
First Peoples' reservations and residential schools, the thousands of Canadians who die every year from
opioid overdose, the abandonment of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms - more things than the reader
probably cares to scroll through. But the point stands:
Does any of this sound like it comes from a country that wants to survive?
Canada has become essentially the state equivalent of a hippie who refuses to work because it
supposedly hurts the planet, tries to solve the problems of others before solving her own, and spends
money on herself and others on a credit card she can never pay off.
Soon she will be on the street - bankrupt, dispirited, disrespected, and lost in the world.
None of this even includes the issue of Chinese immigration to Canada.
Modern Canada readily embraces Chinese immigration, as a sort of neoliberal flagellation out of guilt
for the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1923. This modern version of Canada envisions (or rather, wishes for)
a Canada in which all people are included in a society of "shared values", as Justin Trudeau puts it. The
Canadian neoliberal worldview prefers to avoid even thinking about the possibility of certain
demographics utilising immigration to Canada for longer-term strategic purposes - much less acting on
that reality.
The reality is that Chinese immigration to Canada has already cleared the
beachheads for Chinese social, economic, and eventually, political control in
Canada's metropolitan areas.
I think just my mentioning of this fact incites supporters of liberal immigration policies to shoot the
messenger (metaphorically, I hope), rather than act on the truth instead of what they wish the truth was.
They are unprepared for what will be a rapid shift in the voting demographics of this country.
A couple of years ago, I created a little set of hypothetical statistics that are very enlightening as to how
fragile Canada's demographic security is:
1% of the combined residents of China's ten most populous cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou,
Shenzhen, Tianjin, Wuhan, Dongguan, Chengdum, Foshan, and Chunking: 1 176 657 people!
100% of the population of Canada's ten largest cities: 18 023 208 Canadians.
That 1% of China's ten largest cities, immigrated equally into Canada's ten largest cities, would
equal to 117 666 Chinese immigrants per city.
If that 1% of China's ten largest cities immigrated 50% to Greater Toronto and 50% to Greater
Vancouver, it would equal to 588 329 Chinese immigrants each.
If all of that 1% of China's ten largest cities immigrated to Greater Vancouver, it would total 1
176 658 immigrants.
1/10 of 1% of the combined residents of the top 50 most populous cities in China: 239 000
people.
If this 1/10 of 1% immigrated evenly across Canada's ten largest cities, that would be 23 900
Chinese immigrants per city.
If 1% of Wuhan, China's 6th most populous city, immigrated to Edmonton, Canada's 6th most
populous city, they would comprise 6% of the city's population.
If 1% of Qingdao and Dalian (China's 17th and 18th most populous cities) immigrated to
Saskatoon and Regina (Canada's 17th and 18th most populous cities), the latter two would each
receive 39 467 Chinese immigrants. They would comprise 13% of Saskatoon's population, and
16% of Regina's.
If 1% of the population of Shijiazhuang (China's 28th largest city) immigrated to Guelph
(Canada's 28th largest city), they would comprise 23% of Guelph's population!
And I remind the reader: one would have to add to these numbers from the
Canadian resident population the number of immigrants from China who are
already here.
If Canadian governments genuinely valued this country's demographic security,
the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act would not have been repealed and reviled. The
concentration of these immigrants in urban areas dense with many ridings means
that Canada's future lies in their votes. The First Peoples of Canada have already
been marginalised in all but a dozen ridings; young Eurocanadians in rural
Canada and smaller cities - like myself - are being relegated to the status of
spectators in our own country.
If the reader is as convinced as I am, they may agree that this is not a country that is well-equipped to
stand the test of time. Regardless, the world still will demand our natural resources from this land, and
the time is soon coming when the People's Liberation Army Navy could land an invasion fleet on the
west coast to seize what they please - and there won't be a damned thing we can, or will, do about it.
"But won't the U.S. save us?"
No. As the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation grows in strength - drawing in the majority of the
world's wealth, and bringing ASEAN, the CIS, CSTO, and the EEC under its influence - there will be
precious little the USA can do about it.
What the USA needs to keep its status as hegemon, far more than its strong military and strong GDP, is
a. the U.S. dollar's role as the world's reserve currency, and b. for OPEC to continue to price in U.S.
dollars. Without these two factors, the USA is just India with baseball instead of cricket.
If OPEC is also successfully brought into the orbit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and
prices oil in the renminbi instead of the U.S. dollar, NATO won't be able to whack all of the OPEC
states' leaders like they did to Chairman Gaddafi. Furthermore, U.S. business ties with China, and
China's holdings of U.S. federal debt, will keep the U.S. military on a chokechain.
All this doom and gloom ironed over, I don't believe the people of Canada are most under threat from a
Chinese invasion, or from a U.S. invasion. I believe our greatest threat comes from our own
government - specifically, in its dedication to the climate cult.
The evidence stands - and has been acknowledged by this federal government - that Canada's weight in
the world so-called climate crisis is quite small. Yet, they adhere to this supposed need to go "carbon-
neutral" by mid-century. The climate activists in government are conducting an experiment that will
potentially cause a sharp reduction in our standard of living, will push Canada to the margins of
investment attractiveness, and generally cause major socio-economic upheaval, to the point even where
tens of thousands of Canadians could die.
All in the quest to prevent the world's temperature from rising a fraction of a degree.
Culturally and psychologically, Canada's disintegration is much further along than our political and
economic disintegration. Canadians are no longer a freedom-loving people (a majority in a recent
Maru poll were in favour of punitive taxes on those who voluntarily refused covid vaccination), don't
give a damn about Queen Elizabeth II (numerous polls have shown the majority of Canadians don't
generally care about the Royal Family or who their head of state is), and are rarely happy.
Say what you want about China and its many internal problems - extreme levels of pollution,
persecution of religious organisations, an illegal invasion and annexation of East Turkestan followed by
the internment and "reeducation" of the Uighur natives, the marginalisation of Min and Cantonese in
favour of Mandarin, mass surveillance of Chinese society, and the continued threats directed towards
Taiwan.
But there is still one serious virtue that China has and Canada lacks:
they believe that they should win, and that they should lead the world.
They aren't interested in committing suicide for the planet's sake, in order to show off how righteous
they are.
As this country continues to slide towards failed statehood, I have had to ask myself the repulsive
question:
"Would I accept Canada as a Chinese vassal state, if we were still able to develop our
resources, maintain our standard of living, and go about our daily lives as usual?"
Startlingly, I find myself answering "yes" - if the only alternative is worshipping the Trudeau Liberals'
climate god. I do not answer "yes" if China's sovereignty over Canada comes with the stipulations of
trying to mould it in the Party's image - a surveillance state, religious persecutions, and political rule by
apparatchiks. I would sooner Canada become a U.S. territory than a communist state. But I emphasise
it again: I believe the Communist Party of China's days are numbered, and that China's future
government will bear more resemblance to that of the R.F.
Some readers may accuse me of speaking treason as I discuss this. I will put it to them this way: I
believe it is more moral to pay China to help us prosper than it is to pay our own country to suffer.
Whether or not this eventuality of Chinese vassaldom comes to pass, Canadians had best be prepared
for Chinese state enterprises to play a bigger role in the economy of this country. Ultimately, it will be
executive decisions on the part of these enterprises as to whether they want to focus on creating jobs in
China, or on expanding the global footprint of their companies to compete with the more established
multinationals. We may soon see COSCO, Lenovo, or GAC sponsoring hockey arenas. We already had
Huawei sponsor 'Hockey Night in Canada'. Nexen was already purchased by CNOOC. I don't know if
Nexen will sponsor CSEC's new Calgary Event Centre (if Gondek ever allows that to be built), but I do
know that those who put their money on companies like the abovementioned early stand to make a
huge profit.
My investing advice?
1. Buy stock in any large and/or innovative companies based in the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation (such as Chinese state enterprises), and;
2. Buy stock in companies based OUTSIDE of China whose main customers are
located IN China.
North American residents will find most of these companies beyond the reach of their brokers, due to
most of them not being listed on U.S. exhanges. Some of them do, however, list American depository
receipts - giving them easy access to investors holding U.S. dollars. I already own a few ADRs in both
my first pointer (Cathay Pacific, and Weichai), and my second pointer (Surgutneftegaz). I plan to
accumulate more whenever I am able. Regarding the latter category, I am very bullish on natural
resource developers based in the Eurasian Economic Union; China's ravenous hunger for these
resources means that those companies which extract them and sell them to China fastest stand to make
huge profits. In the case of the Russian Federation, she needs the revenue in order to upgrade and
expand her military (made necessary by NATO's completely unnecessary provocation), and thus need
to pitch sales of their natural resources aggressively. Companies like Gazprom, Lukoil, Novatek,
Rosneft, and Tatneft have my attention.
That's all, I suppose. I'd like to thank the reader for spending their time reading my work.
I'd also like to remind the reader that much of what I mentioned above is
speculative, and not absolutely guaranteed to come to fruition. Where you put your
money is ultimately your choice. Do what you have to do that you believe will be
best for you.
