You shouldn't. The US is our ally through NORAD, NATO and free trade agreements. It has had a rough pass because of the Trump administration, but they would still defend our interests in case of trade disputes or armed conflicts.
- sudosysgen 6y agoCanadian geostrategic policy has always been to limit reliance on the US as much as possible. This is the reason why the Canadian military went as far as training with the USSR in the 80s. The US will not help Canada in trade conflicts. In fact, most trade conflicts that Canada has are with the US. Equally, the US only helps Canada militarily as far as it furthers US interests. Here is a good example. The only significant military challenge to Canadian interests right now are Russian claims in the Arctic. The US, instead of supporting Canadian claims, first made its own claims, and then argued that the territory should be under international jurisdiction. States do not have friends. Only interests.
