"We think that today, there is an opportunity for all of the (USMCA) countries to work together to have a fully aligned policy on China, to protect all of our workers and to ensure that we are supporting each other in this really important effort," Freeland said.

They need a unified front against Trump's trade war. Even if that means working with China.

the enemy of your enemy is not your friend. There are better partners to work with if the us abandons them, like EU/UK/AU/JP, etc

Yeah, Canada would likely benefit from prioritizing European Union alliances. Or focus on Mexico

There's no better time than now to start divesting ourselves from our reliance on the dumpster fire to our south.

Shore up trading relationships with Europe and the rest of the world. Increase our military spending to the NATO promise (possibly more since i don't trust the orange dick-head not to try something stupid). Make it very very clear that our foreign policy will not always align with the united states and that we are a sovereign nation.

The U.S. is clearly losing it's sanity, and it's mind boggling that our politicians are ready to go down with them.

Except Mexico right Canada?

Don't act all high and mighty and saying all North America, and then try to banish Mexico from the NAFTA or whatever it's called now.
