    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?

        Because the US is wreaking havoc world wide. The US cannot be trusted anymore.

        Better remove the bandaid now then wait until you are screwed.

        People now see China as the reliable partner. This will be a multigenerational change.
