Carney Proposes Australia-Canada Alliance to Counter Superpowers
Canada and Australia should collaborate as “strategic cousins” rather than competitors to strengthen their negotiating positions with global superpowers. This enhanced cooperation, particularly in critical minerals, defence, and trade, is crucial amidst a breakdown in the global architecture. Australia’s participation in the G7 critical minerals alliance underscores this commitment, alongside continued support for intelligence sharing through the Five Eyes network. While acknowledging challenges, the focus is on boosting investments, technical cooperation, and supply chain resilience to enhance strategic autonomy.
