IMO Canada is obviously in on it and what's good for the US probably happens to be good for Canada when it comes to trade and China.

- dmix 7y agoIt's also doing the US a big favour which Canada can call up for in the future. Canada is also apart of five eyes and NATO. We have more than enough of our own paranoid security hawks who'd push hard for something like this. Intelligence agencies can be quite persuasive.
- devoply 7y agoNot really Canada needed another source for selling its oil and possibly lumber because America loves strong arming it in trade deals because it's 1/10 the size. So geopolitically this move hurt Canada quite a bit. It could've gotten itself out of it by releasing Meng on some technicality but would've then felt Trump's ire.
- Scoundreller 7y agoThe US sucks up enough of our oil. And China doesn’t really build with lumber. But food crops? China is creating a mess in that Canadian department.
