I can't think of a better speech than any other Canadian PM has ever given outside of perhaps Chretien's 1995 referendum speech.

Everything going on and everything he is talking about now are things people warned that could happen back in the 1980s when Mulroney was cozying up with Reagan. Granted, the integration with the U.S. did help make some people a lot of money and there were economic gains, this was always going to be the end result eventually. It was only a matter of time and honestly, I am surprised that it took this long.
