Welp. Time to join the EU.

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

~~Canada~~ absolutely everyone. The US has went senile.

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.

Seriously, we should be getting in with them really hard right now. It's the only hope if we want to stay relevant as a sovereign nation in any way.
