Peter Navarro wants to increase pressure on country that Donald Trump has threatened to annex

This is great news for Canadians, meaning they'll be free from dragnet surveilance, as the five eyes monitoring system relies on other countries to spy on their citizens for them as a legal loophole.
Way to go trump, keep going, dismantle the five eyes entirely.
Oh, no!

Huh? The other 4 can still spy on Canadians. They just won't share the info with Canada.
So Canadian citizens are safe from prosecution then by their own government.
They can and will be prosecuted through legal means. As for illegal means, if it's a big enough deal you can bet the other 4 countries will accidentally leak the info.
Yeah I dunno how anyone thinks this is a good thing. I mean, the destruction of the alliance wouldn’t be bad, but removing Canada from an existing one is just declaring info war.
This phrase is way overused, for good reason, but I’ll use it again: I fucking hate this timeline.

But useful idiots kept warning about China spying on me through Huawei without evidence.
Don't make the mistake to think that reliance on China is not a security threat. It might not impact privacy, but at least from what I heard here, big network operators are unable to maintain their networks without support from the hardware vendors, and not just in the sense that they need updates, patches etc, but that the OEMs rather do everything and the providers just slap their label on it.
You are right, USA being bad does not make China good. All this shows is USA was always bad. It's just mask off now. Every nation should be looking to independently secure their networks now. No one can be trusted. But if we are honest, it was always this way, the world just got complacent.
Now us has trump spying on them for russia
