    Absolutely, however it’s done, Canada needs to reduce its trade dependency on the USA.

      The biggest impediment to increasing trade with countries that aren’t 50km away is the cost and logistics of shipping.

      Given their proximity, the US is always going to be looked at as the easiest place to trade with.

      Of course, having a chaotic baboon running the place does change that calculation somewhat, but the fact that they’re just “across the stereet” still tilts that balance.
