As it stands, we'd be very reliant on the good faith of one of our two new neighbors. A very unenviable position that would end with economic disparity, or being forced to rejoin Canada at a heavy cost, or joining the US with a diminished bargaining position.

Seems to be working ok for the 7 + M people in landlocked Switzerland.
