CTV政治分析员莎伦·考尔表示，卡尼总理即将访华对国际关系、外交等领域意义重大。

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

现在让我们回到关于加拿大贸易的话题，特别是卡尼总理下周访华。现在和我一起的是CTV新闻政治分析员莎伦·考尔。

你好，莎伦，你好吗？

我很好。你呢？我很好。好的，我们开始吧。我们刚才也在和渥太华的杰里米讨论这件事，就是下周的访华之行。显然，总理希望继续扩大贸易伙伴，并解释加拿大在贸易方面依赖哪些国家，但加中关系尤其复杂。那么，您如何看待下周的访问？

莎伦·卡尔

我认为这是一个非常重要的时刻。过去几年，加中关系一直非常紧张。我们经历了两名迈克尔被拘留的时期。我们也经历了外交沟通渠道几乎瘫痪的时期。鉴于美国发生的事情，我认为我们必须扩大贸易伙伴。我认为总理访问中国意义重大。双方将讨论一些议题，例如油菜籽、电动汽车，以及国家安全和其他一些事项。所以，我认为这非常重要。我们不能假装中国不是世界超级大国。我认为外交手段以及让他去那里实际上是一件好事。

主持人

你认为这只是像你刚才说的那种对话吗？他们会谈论这些话题，会讨论这些问题，但感觉目前还不太可能达成任何协议。

莎伦·卡尔

嗯，很有可能会有一些沟通成果。通常，这些讨论不会在这些会议中开始和结束，对吧？它们可能已经开始了。他们可能实际上有一些想要达成一致的成果。如果总理回来的时候宣布达成了某种共识，我不会感到惊讶。但我认为我们目前不一定会在那里解决油菜籽或电动汽车问题。但我确实认为他们可能会就加中关系达成某种协议。

主持人

我还想和您谈谈克里斯托弗·弗里兰今天正式辞职的事，她不再是国会议员，而是加入了乌克兰政府，负责当地的经济重建工作。嗯，您也知道，这件事的进展方式引发了很多批评，包括她辞职的方式以及本周发生的事情。我也很想知道您对她在加拿大留下的持久印象有何看法，尤其是在她即将就任新职务、不再担任下议院议员之后，她的政治影响力会如何。

莎伦·卡尔

听着，我认为，大多数情况下，来自各个党派的人都同意，加拿大国会议员很难在另一个国家的政府中担任职务。这关乎忠诚。我认为，公平地说，她对加拿大极其忠诚，但她也是乌克兰的坚定支持者。她一生都是如此。

所以我并不感到惊讶。我认为她在这件事上的沟通安排有点草率，但她辞职是正确的决定。

她根本不可能同时担任这两个职位，即使她声称要同时担任这两个职位也不可能。听着，她担任国会议员已经相当长一段时间了，我认为最终，罗丝戴尔大学选区的居民可以对此发表意见，但她辞职是正确的选择，我认为现在是时候给罗丝戴尔大学选区注入一些新鲜血液了。

CTV新闻政治分析员莎伦·卡尔。非常感谢你，莎伦。感激不尽。

‘We can’t pretend like China is not a superpower in the world’: analyst reacts to Carney’s trip

CTV political analyst Sharan Kaur says PM Carney’s upcoming visit to China holds significance for international relations, diplomacy, and more.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Want to return now to a conversation about trade in this country, in particular, Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to China next week. With me now is CTV News political analyst Sharon Carr.

Hi Sharon, how are you? 

Good. How are you? 

I'm very good. Okay, let's get into this. We're just talking about this too with Jeremy in Ottawa too, but the visit to China next week. Clearly the prime minister continuing this expansion, wanting to explain uh who Canada's relying on for trade, but this one in
particular is a very complicated relationship. So, what do you make of the visit next week? 

Sharon Carr
I think it's a pretty big moment. We've gone through a number of years and a period of time where Canada China relations has been very fraught. Uh we went through the period when uh the two Michaels were detained there. We went through a period of time where there was very little diplom diplomatic channels of communication and I think given what's happened in the US uh we have to expand our trade partners and I think the fact
that the prime minister is going there is important. there's going to be things on the table like canola, EVs that are going to be a point of discussion, but also national security and and a few other items there. So, I think it's really important. We can't pretend like China is not a superpower in the world in terms of where they stand. And I
think diplomacy and and having him go there is actually a good thing.

Host
And do you believe it's just more of those conversations like you talked about? They're going to talk about these topics, they're going to discuss these, but necessarily that doesn't really feel that there might be any sort of agreement yet. 

Sharon Carr
Well, it's quite possible that there's going to be some sort of communicate that comes out of it. Often these discussions don't start and end in these meetings, right? They've probably already started. They might actually have a deliverable that they want to agree upon. I wouldn't be surprised that by the time the prime minister returns, there's something that gets announced that there some mutual agreement on something. But I don't think we're going to necessarily solve canola or EV issues at this point in time there. But I do think there might be some sort of agreement on Canada China relations that
they can come out of. 

Host
I also want to talk to you Christopher Freeland officially resigned today, no longer an
MP and has taken up the post in the Ukrainian government to talk about economic redevelopment there. Um, you know, the way this all played out, there was lots of criticism about how she resigned and and what happened this week. But I'm curious your thoughts too on her lasting impression uh here in Canada, especially politically as she
moves on to her next role and now is no longer in the House of Commons. 

Sharon Carr
listen, I think that uh for the most part, a lot of folks from every partisan stripe agree that it's really difficult for uh a member of Canadian Parliament to hold a role in another government. I just it's a question of I'm going to say loyalty. Like I think it's fair to say she's extremely loyal to Canada, but she's also a very strong advocate for
for Ukraine. She's been her whole life.

So I I'm not surprised. I think that the communications roll out on this was a bit sloppy uh in how she did it, but it's the right decision for her to go.

There's no way that she could have held both positions, even even saying that she's going to have it at the same time. Uh her lasting impression, listen, she's been a MP for quite some time now, and I think that uh at the end of the day, the residents of University Rosedale can speak to that, but uh she's made the right move to resign, and I think it's time to get some fresh blood into University Rosedale.

CTV News political analyst Sharon Carr. Thanks so much for this, Sharon. Appreciate it.
