   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?

         It's not that they want to enter a trade war with Trump, it's that there's large room for growth in trade between Canada and Poland (your example).

         Since Trump is hostile to trade with both parties there's an opportunity to replace lost US trade that's probably not coming back.

         Trump has weakened himself and his allies where as mutual trade between Canada and the EU makes both stronger.
