Yeah, so we're going to be the "small country" eventually, and maybe sooner than we were expecting. Amazon and other major companies are destroying the economies as we know them and they're almost all American.
Add to that America has effectively destroyed Canadian Oil without even going to war with us so yeah, we're in for a reckoning here in Canada. We used to have a give and take relationship with America that worked, in the recent decade we are seeing the transformation to a relationship where they take and we give to their economy in almost every way.
