I think it's also a little naive to assume a world where there is a more even balance of power is worse. What if the US had real fear of pissing of China, and didn't get up to their decades of foreign misdeeds and millions of dead bodies and massive amounts of human suffering as a result? Do you really think you can definitively say that this scenario would have China murdering even more foreigners, and disrupting the progression of even more foreign countries?
If they were both afraid of pissing each other off, maybe the rest of the planet would have been left alone a bit more.
And frankly, I don't give a crap what's good for Canada if it's at the expense of others. Why are the lives here worth more than people across some imaginary line on a map?

If a multipolar world does indeed happen, it will likely lead to a slight adjustment and correction for us in the west who have lived very well at the expense of the majority of the world, where the result will be a better situation in that world vs. how they live today and a small relative adjustment for us. Some of us are okay with that. Others, clearly are not.
