In this agree. To be honest the E. U, South America, and other Asian countries and even a African countries might have a choice to oppose the US and even cut some ties. However Canada and Mexico as well can't afford to do so they are too closed to the USA Since they share a long border and their economy and defense rely on the US. Its like Mongolia trying to divorce from China. Its almost impossible and will only hurt them far more than China. They know that. So they have to play jice with the US Whether they like it or not. Its no wonder Canadas Carney despite being elected on standing up to USA BULLYING went to the white house to negotiate and kinda plead with Trump, and now he is the first to want to join the US golden dome system before any other US ally. They are basically peladingnto join Inde the US umbrella even though trump is still castigating them to pay up and join the US as the 51st state. Lol.Boycott for 4 years? Nah. Carney backtracked in less than 3 months. Talked all that talk during the campaign.
Deeper integration with the U.S. in the future. Lots of hugs and kisses. Disney world welcomes all Canadians.
Trump basically slapped Canada for free.
In short there's nothing much Canada can do but to tone down their rhetoric. People seem to forget how influential the US is and how much depth they have with their allies. China has to learn from the USA in this regard. I can't think of any country China has some real depth and influence over. This might also play in the country's disfavour if there's a conflict in future between the US AND CHINA. No country can develop as an island by itself. So you need real allies not just partners .
