Okay but all our other neighbors are an ocean away. This is hard mode.
Yes but the alternative is to become hostage to a hostile nation.
You cave now and they will do it again. We also have to stop pretending these are Canadian firms leaving. We’ve allowed many of our manufacturing companies to become subsidiaries of foreign companies.
Exactly. When I hear the east talk about the "Canadian Auto Industry" I think, what auto industry? Oh the american one that hires a lot of Canadians? The deal has been good for both sides so I understand why we became dependent, but now that the mask is off and the US is openly saying they intend to fuck us we need to pivot.
While I would love a Canadian auto company, that is very hard to do and the better interim option would be to better partnership with European and Asian car brands. No reason we can't build Renault cars here.
I mean, same with China for the most part? And yet they manage to be an industrial powerhouse. Shipping is not impossible.
We also are their biggest export market. If we start "eating our own dog food" then those overseas exports will be enough to make up most of the difference, but we have to double down on the effort to build and buy anything but American.
We also have a land border with Denmark
Lot of international trade possibilities on Hans Island?
I hear they like poutine.
Historically, there's been a bit of a whiskey trade on the Denmark-Canada land border.
We probably need to build a pipeline over the border
JFC..consult a globe.

Yeah but also a lot of countries are looking to diversify away from the us who is just as far from those potential partners.
