Good, if the middle power democracies don't align/work together they are going to get torn apart in the struggle between the US and China.

  70% of Canadian exports are to the US. 6% to the EU. Why would e.g. Poland want to enter a trade war with the US on Canada's behalf?

    Deals right now are intended to increase the trades between Canada and reducing those with the US, in little improvement steps.
    If in 10 years the ratio moves from 70/6 to 50/26, the situation will be vastly different.
    The options are not black and white
