Please don’t sell any more of Canada.
How about fucking no, what the fuck?
So American money through a proxy country
Please no slavery and no more human rights abusers.
As long as this isn’t selling off interests , money is money and Canada is not in a position to police others when we are in a trade war with our importer of 80% of all Canadian goods.
Getting investments from these oil/gas rich “Kings” is like getting investments from the local drug deal/sex trafficker.
Some people have no fucking idea how the world works. The time for grandstanding moralization is over – sad but true.
How can we project the values we want when we can’t sustain our own existence? We need to get our house in order before helping others
Thr government guarantees on foreign investment are going to be insane
Time to start investing in the TSX again. it was a rough ride with the previous prime minister but it’s been a rocket ship so far. Only wild card is the USD and its correlation to the CDN $. Not sure how that’s going to play out in the near, mid and long term.
Oh joy improving relations with a country that would put me to death for existing.
I don’t mind taking their money as long as there’s not strings attached
Gonna be hard for Carney to preach morality and still sound authentic.
Is this the same project Brookfield announced a few weeks ago?
Come on guys we got so much in common with Qatar!
[Qatar – Migrant workers continued to face serious abuses, including wage theft, restrictions on changing jobs and inadequate grievance and redress mechanisms.](https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/middle-east/qatar/report-qatar/)
[Canada: Temporary visa programme enables abuse migrant workers, treating them as disposable, report finds](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/01/canada-tfwp-abuse-migrant-workers/)
Does it mean Qatar will own majority in major projects or just some 2-5% stake? Some clarity would be helpful
From Trump’s Venezuela oil account?
As long as it benefits Canada.
Good news for the economy.
Generally speaking, there are two types of folks who would be against this:
1. The moral grand-standers who need to come down from their high horse. Qatar is no North Korea and Canada needs economic ties with countries like Qatar to get ahead, and we desperately need to get ahead given the current US-Canada fallout.
2. The Israel first crowd who say “but Qatar is bad” and at the same time are supporting a freaking genocide which is 100x worse than anything Qatar has done. In fact, Qatar was instrumental to facilitating the cease fire to this conflict and others.
Both are to be ignored for the good of Canada.
Lets take their slave money yay…. let’s be honest if you weren’t blindly supporting carney you wouldn’t support thjs
When do we pick our 747 jet !!
As a conservative I am for this. The problem I have is how the hell will any of this get built ?
Its so refreshing having a banker running the country and not an Idealogue. Carney actually wants to build and grow this country. PP and Trudeau seemed more concerned with left vs right than anything economic
We must be that desperate… I can’t see Canada coming out of these recent countries with deals that benefit us more than them. Wait and see…
The irony of “USA is bad/nazi/anti lgbtq/women’s rights” to shaking hands with China and Qatar.
Ok… What is Qatar getting in return other than “more flights”
LOL…. the carney sure seems to have a penchant for dictatorships in the case of Qatar and sponsor of hamas!
This will piss off trump for sure.
How can we allow the carney to legitimize Qatar with investment opportunities in Canada? Allow them to profit so that they can continue to underwrite terrorist organizations. Isn’t that whacked?
Following Hamas’s October 7 (2023) terrorist attack on Israel, some Israeli officials accused Qatar of sponsoring Hamas’s terrorism. On the face of it, these speakers were correct: Qatar fits the label of a state who sponsors terrorism. Not only was Qatar hosting Hamas’s “external” leadership, it also paid salaries of Hamas civil servants in Gaza and for the Strip’s electricity needs, essential for keeping Hamas’s rule in Gaza. And yet Qatar managed to escape accountability for the October 7 massacre, and may even strengthened its international position by using its mediation services. Qatar’s relationship with Hamas presents an interesting case of state-sponsored terrorism, producing important insights concerning the reasons states engage in sponsorship, the costs of sponsorship, and the politics of accountability.
People suggesting we have no choice while Canadian billionaires have magnitudes more wealth just sitting there earning interest for themselves. This is all money that could have been re-invested into these companies and the country but we care about shareholder returns above anything else which none of this changes. But I’m sure I’ll be downvoted for trying to ruin the vibes.
We are at the point where this is all for the oligarchs. Be clear, none of this benefits the public.
Danielle Smith is concerned she might have to share her office there now 😂
Qatar is a nation with tons of easily-exploited foreign workers. Our two nations will get along splendidly.
ITT: A bunch of upset left wing people who really need to travel the world for once.
I’m really looking forward to this Thanksgiving’s Turkey Trot, sponsored by Saudi Arabia.
Are they gonna send slave labor to help out? What’s the plan here?
What is the catch, we turn a blind eye to their human rights violations?
Why? Are there no other normal countries Canada can do business with simply awful awful
