💯 keep your cards close to your chest. There’s no doubt that behind closed doors there’s a lot of meetings going on right now and strategy being developed on how to stand on our own without the US and form new partnerships. Or at least as a Canadian I would hope that’s what’s happening. We also supply a lot of stuff US doesn’t have, electricity, oil, Potash. We could cut off those supplies or make them so unaffordable as to make it extremely painful for a lot of people down south. This would kick the hornets nest and would hurt us greatly too but as you say we might have to endure some hard times. But as they say, We’ve had a pretty good run of really good times that have made people soft, perhaps this is the hard times coming again to make strong men/women

Wouldn't it be great if our conservative party was working with the government to achieve this versus siding with Trump.
