Boycott America, of course.

I was actually just learning up about this submarine topic before I saw this thread start. This video talks more about the politics and economic ramifications and the rational to eliminate the US from the project:



Just another way how red states are being decimated by their own votes. At the same time Carney quietly meets Trump's requirement of increasing defense spending without sending any of the money to the US.

Bonus points on the decision because it not only removes Canadian dollars that the US assumed was going to them but also nationalizes a bunch of the defence spending into Vancouver and Halifax instead.
