I think it’s a great opportunity for Canada to develop more partnership with Europe, Mexico and the rest of the world. USA is an ennemi now, a dangerous one, it’s time to bring this under-educated country to his knees. They need to pay for all the suffering they brought to the world. Sorry USA, we cant not friend anymore, you made your choices.
I wouldn’t mind a new Commonwealth forming. Reformed based on looking towards the future of the greatest global community instead of the colonial past
We all decide to give our Commonwealth members populations a universal credit/basic income/whatever and enhance the ability to choose what to live. Become global Commonwealth citizens backed by the country we call home. Let us move freely. A supported migrant population taking advantage of seasonal differences in hemispheres
And if this goes down in flames… It will still be 1000x better than the current shitshow
I agree, but we should have diversified our trade in the 90s when we realized Mulroney’s us/can free trade agreement wasn’t going to last forever, and when it was becoming obvious that China was rising fast as a manufacturing powerhouse.
IMO, we should have forged a tightly integrated trade agreement with the EU and spearheaded the Trans Pacific Partnership way sooner.
We’re in the pickle of current events because we were largely complacent at the table of a global market that marched ahead without us in the ways we wanted.
The problem is that it’s very difficult to move from a trading partner you share a land border with to ones that you have to cross the world’s largest oceans to get to. Not just difficult, but largely undesirable. While national security might argue for diverse trading partners, short of applying extraordinary incentives business is going to go where its easy and profitable to go, and that’s the US.
Since the nineties Canada has signed and ratified 15 free trade agreements. But none of that matters when we have one of the world’s largest and wealthiest markets right next to us. Not unless we’re willing to take extraordinary measures to change that dynamic.

Sucks to be linked in when I didn’t choose any of this. But I get it. You gotta at this point. Fuck us.
This as an Australia, I’d be happy to see Australia aak fir EU entry.
Or we could start a Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ zone akin to the EU.

Yes, of course. Those things are also all true.
