China should be one of the countries that we explore trade opportunities with, but we do not want to rely on them. Going from one dictator to another isn’t the answer.
The biggest issues in Canada right now is the lack of local processing for raw materials, lack of efficient ways of moving said goods to the coasts (where our ports are), and a miniscule (although extremely effective) military force. Canada has a lot of raw materials and plenty of energy, we’ve just gotten complacent and are used to sending it to the US for processing.
That needs to change. We cannot rely on the US. I agree with #4 in a broad sense. Canada needs to start taking its defence and security seriously
Between the two it would have to be China. Trump is in bed with Putin and much of what he has done to the US is to further Russia’s interests.
China and Canada have a lot more to offer each other. Outside of obvious trade opportunities, I would imagine China would love to have an increased sphere of influence that sits right at the US border.
Gutting and stripping every single public service and government asset and selling it off to the first person that asks.
And then giving the money to his pals.
Essentially conservative basics 101.
