What if .....
You can spin the "What if?" wheel all day long to suit whatever agenda you are pushing. There is no point to that.
You are absolutely right in believing the actions the Americans take can easily override any actions we do. But we should have someone in place to work together and make sure actions like that don't happen. That is one of the reasons there was a G20 meeting - to try and prevent actions that would be counterproductive and ultimately useless.
Coordination is the key, but it would be nice if we had someone the US (or any other country, or the EU) could coordinate with.
I would hope that there are sensible people in Ottawa keeping in the international loop, both from the CPC and coalition sides. They can't think the rest of the world will wait for Canada to get this sorted out.
But I'm sure I will be disappointed in this hope, too.

Of course there are a million what ifs. Anything can happen at any time. Are the Liberals and Socialists more prepared to deal with any of those what ifs than the recently-elected Conservatives are? I haven't seen any proof of that.
Here's another "what if:" What if everyone waited to see what's in the actual budget when it's announced, instead of trying to overthrow a Government that has not yet even had a chance to govern?
