As a Canadian, I prefer China to the US simply because China isn’t threatening to annex us. I hope we will strike a deal with China for military containment of our enemy, the US.

As a Canadian also I want you to know that you absolutely do not speak for all of us, and I strongly hope that you don't represent anything remotely like a majority here Canada-US relationships may be strained right now but the USA is not our enemy, and neither are Americans

  The US is 100% the biggest existential threat to Canada purely based on Geography and adminstration. The American people really need to do something about their current adminstration if they want to maintain a positive relationship with Canada

  I'm going to walk the middle ground here as another Canadian. The US has been our 'closest friend and ally' for 70+, hell nearly 100 years now. We've sought economic and military integration, to our benefits certainly, but also to our detriment. It has gone too far, and all it takes is a bully being elected to slap on unjustified tariffs and destabilize the relationship with the goal to squeeze more out of allies rather than negotiating a fair deal for all. Hell he's doing it a second time, and now with the more nefarious undertones of political annexation which the vast majority of Canadians do not want. Our goal moving forward should be to continue being polite and friendly as we are to most other counties, yet also to divorce our military and economy from American control at every step. Does that mean in some cases trading more with China? Yes, but we should focus on commonwealth and European integration with like minded countries that value democracy and their citizens.

      Enemies define themselves by a actions. This administration is an enemy to Canada, all Americans are not. But it shows we need to reevaluate this friendship and move apart going forward.
