Canada is facing foreign policy dilemmas that challenge its values, interests, and identity, as it finds itself at odds with China and the United States.
In the 1920s, the Canadian politician Raoul Dandurand described the country as a “fireproof house” — surrounded on three sides by the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic oceans, and with a friendly neighbour in the United States to the south. It is a comforting view of the world that has helped define Canada ’s identity, even as it sent soldiers overseas to fight, from the Second World War to Afghanistan. But that sense of detachment from the harsh realities of geopolitics is rapidly disappearing.
Canada has found itself sucked into a series of perilous foreign policy dilemmas that have left it struggling to balance its values, interests and identity. In particular, Canada now finds itself at loggerheads with both China and the United States. Over the past year alone, Canada has accused China of interfering in its domestic politics and criticized the Chinese military for flying dangerously close to its aircraft over the South China Sea. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced these challenges at the G20 in Bali last year
