> There are strategic reasons why you may not want to help increase the manufacturing base of a national "competitor" From what I can tell, the US is repositioning itself as a national "competitor" to Canada. Thus based on the article you linked, Canada should significant curtail its trade with the US and start to rely upon its own industries and that of its reliable allies (looking at Europe) for military and critical infrastructure. That said, trading non critical goods with China and other countries who have not taken an aggressive war posture with us makes sense as well. Say what you will about China and their spying, but they have not actually treated to remove our sovereignty as the current leader of the US has [1]. In fact, China hasn't done anything even close to that. [1] https://time.com/7214321/trump-canada-51st-state-fox-super-bowl-interview/ https://time.com/7214321/trump-canada-51st-state-fox-super-b...
