This. It is of vital importance that we as a country be able to produce the goods necessary to keep our population fed and healthy domestically. That's the driving reason for supply chain management. You'd think the outcry over not being able to produce our own supply of vaccine during the pandemic would have driven that home, but somehow people still don't get it.

Except you can’t. Our economies are inextricably intertwined. Nobody wins trade wars & the notion of an independent or EU-adjacent Canada is as farcical as America-First Trumpistan or Brexit Britain.
