A way for Canada to reduce its dependency on the U.S. would be to diversify its trading partners, which, in turn, would strengthen Canada’s bargaining position.
Wow… Almost mainstream media saying so. They do delay mentioning China for a few paragraphs, but that is clearly the answer, if the auto/EV plant investments are cut off from US competitiveness.
Canadian politicians and media need to reject their CIA allegiances. The obvious role China can play is investing in natural resource extraction. Ask for 50/50 joint ventures in industry that processes those materials with options to buy a share of the production, and export a portion of value added processing as well as raw materials. Canada should withdraw from NATO if US puts tariffs on it. Rutte demanding extra US sycophancy by boosting military spending to 3%, and sacrificing pensions, healthcare, and social security to do so, and our media runs stories of “mandatory draft” and absurd threats to Arctic that are met by F35 purchases somehow.
All NATO colonies have significant GDP lag compared to US since Ukraine fiasco. The idea to reward Trump by importing more US weapons should be a repulsive reaction to the subjugation that Biden inflicted. Copying tariffs without Chinese consultations was by far the most pathethic act of submission of our Government, and Trump is “rewarding” our cowardice.
