Not posted here was a Carney-Sheibaum meeting this week that had general headlines on this theme.

Significant US economic activity was generated from Canada-Mexico trade and NAFTA/USMCA from fuel and transit taxes.

I can't confirm how solid these plans are, but this is an obvious step that Canadian politicians could highlight to disprove incompetence and slave gaslighting.

Arguments were well laid out even if there are few plans to implement it. Sea transport between the countries can avoid US fees even before this year's tariffs. For Mexican autosector, Metal manufacturing from Canada could see finishing in Mexico. Video says batteries from MX, but China would be a better partner by far.

Chevy Equinox and their electric van are good value, but costs would go down in Canada with Canada/MX partnership on them. Produce would probably need air shipping, though.

China would be a better partner by far.

No. They are not a reliable partner either. They don't share our values nor are they comitted to the rules based order, or the rule of law internationally or internally.

For all the reasons the US are a poor partner, China is doubly so.

Extreme propaganda programming seems the cornerstone of any "legitimate" democracy. Not healthy for you.
