I know he is a lunatic, a mentally deficient and demented old man but I hope Canada continues to build and expand relationships with our other allies and continues to distance ourselves from the US. Even if they do a complete 180 tomorrow we should never be as close to them as we were in the past and I for one am fine with a significant amount of discomfort in the near future if it means building a more independent future that includes our other worldwide allies.
No country should be as complacent as we were with the US and while we will pay the price for some time now, I hope we continue to see more news of visits to European allies, visits to Australia, Japan, South Korea etc. These should be our allies and while we all need to work together since the US has shown it's true colors, never again should we become so reliant and complacent as we were in the past.
