> If anything as a Canadian I rather see Canada openly and aggressive court China, Russia, EU and Mexico+Brazil as trading partners to significantly reduce dependence on US. Why? This is worse than working with the U.S. even with the tariffs. Furthermore, Canada is little more than a suburb of the U.S. as far as military projection; whose navy guards the Canadian ships if Canada flips the bird to the U.S? > Canada needs to understand need of the hour is not to engage in moral-schooling with China and not to support ire-invoking causes in China -- our priority is Canada, Canadian economy and Canadians. China is seizing Canadian property from Chinese people for political influence, I don't think this is the time to treat China with no suspicion. > For too long our courting of USA and India has resulted in both US and India becoming arrogant towards us when it comes to foreign policy and diplomatic protocols. > Finally, as a clear signal, Canada should step up border patrol and aggressively stop any intake of folks fleeing to Canada from USA - US needs to understand Canada is not a dumping ground for their unwanted folks. This is pretty limited.
