      **In Brief:**

      * Prime Minister Mark Carney said Sunday that Canada must work to correct “weaknesses” formed from its close ties with the U.S. but also stressed Canadians have “faced down threats like this before.”
      * “Many of our former strengths based on our close ties to America have become our weaknesses,” he said in a video posted to his official YouTube channel. “Weaknesses that we must correct.”
      * In outlining a plan for the Liberal government, the prime minister reiterated previous comments that the world is “more dangerous and divided,” but went on to say Canada is working to “build more for ourselves.”
      * This includes attracting new investment, building partnerships with other countries to create new markets, and “taking back control” of security, borders and the country’s future.
      * “The truth is, there’s a lot going on in the world, and not all of it is good, and the stakes could not be higher,” Carney said. “The way we’re going to get through this is together.”

      If Carney told Canadians to cut off our left arm to spite the US, half the country would ask if we should be cutting off both arms just to be safe

      Emotion aside, the death of CUSMA would / will have massive economic consequences for Canada that would / will take 5-10 years of immense economic, political, social, cultural and security efforts for Canada to ameliorate.

      And regardless of our current anger towards Trump’s Amerika, geography remains an objective fact. We will still need to have some form of economic and security relationship with the US.

      We will need to construct any future relationship with the US in such a manner that we are protected and insulated from a now untrustworthy, incoherent, unpredictable, unprincipled, unreliable, odious, corrupt, feckless and craven neighbour who can turn into at least an adversary, if not an outright enemy, on a whim.

      The next 5-10 years will be very difficult and challenging for Canada.

      I appreciated his little model of Sir Isaac Brock that he whipped out. We learn about him a lot in my area since he died in my region but I’ve NEVER seen a little play model of him.

      Don’t worry guys. We’re going to diversify like Brexit and we all know how well economically the UK is doing right now!

      Prepare for the excuses for his failures. 11 years of zero accountability for the liberals. Another 3 years to go.

      If we have to do with less, pay higher taxes, work harder to find Canadian products or non-US replacements, even create soup lines, we will still be Canadian in the end. Otherwise, we will dishonour everyone who has served, is serving, and will serve for our great country.

      Canada has never faced a real existential threat. To use an apt metaphor, Canada has been thrown a lot of softballs over its history. For example, Canada never had a civil war over slavery because Canada was never a significant part of the triangle trade and the decision to ban slavery came down from the UK. Canada also shared a long border with a militarily powerful and rich neighbor that was also largely peaceful and friendly to it. The point here is that Carney’s bravado is misplaced. Canada’s experience is in no way comparable to, say, South Korea or Kuwait or Switzerland, who all had to live in tough neighbourhoods filled with aggressive imperial powers.
