Why Aligning with BRICS Would Be a Disaster for Canada: A Canadian’s Take from Rio
Since the election in November and Trump’s inauguration, some radical leftists in Canada have been calling for a new alignment with the BRICS countries. But as someone living in Rio de Janeiro, I can tell you firsthand that the situation changed drastically when tariffs were imposed or threatened on Canada, Mexico, and China. The result? Brazilian gas prices spiked by $0.30 per liter. Once Canada and Mexico gave in to Trump’s demands, gas prices dropped back to normal. Now, let’s talk about South Africa, a country in severe turmoil, and China, a full-on communist regime. Communism, by the way, is responsible for more deaths than any other political system in history. And then there’s Saudi Arabia, a country notorious for its poor human rights record. And yet, some Canadians want to align with countries like these instead of taking a more sensible, common-sense approach that would benefit Canada and its citizens. A government that works for Canadians is what’s needed, and Pierre Poilievre seems to be the best option moving forward. The leftists advocating for BRICS alignment clearly don’t understand the full picture. if Canada were to align with these countries, it would be an even bigger disaster than nine years under Trudeau.
