If or when a U.S. regime change happens and the U.S. wants to talk about free trade again, it could put us in a much better bargaining position. With Trudeau in Brussels this week to meet with the EU, my hope is that he drums up interest for EU investment in Canada to help get some of that stuff done.

I agree with you that the silver lining in this train wreck is it’ll force Canada to function like an actual country. Not a collection of feifdoms stabbing each other in the back.
