Canada needs to do a major shift away from the US. They (government, not necessarily people) are only our ‘friends’ when we subordinate all of our policy to their wants. Trump isn’t new on this front, just so childish that it has become impossible to ignore. Even our prior ‘free trade’ was more about the US controlling Canadian business and innovation than actual free trade. Canadians are forced to buy far more American goods per capita than the US has ever bought of Canadian goods. For all the hand wringers worried about China spying on us, or dealing with countries that have human rights issues we disagree with, all that can be said about US and even more. Why people think we should continue to appease them, I don’t know. It won’t stop an idiot like Trump trying a military takeover if he feels like it, so we are better to be less tied to them to begin with. I wasn’t too sure about Carney but I liked his speech in Davos. I hope he continues on that road.
