Canada seems to be picking up the old Cuba/Persia/Russia attitude. When the US empire sanctions you, DEVELOP YOUR OWN SKILLS so the US monster will have less leverage and less damage. Canada’s officials seem to recognize that Trump is the most unpredictable disaster in the world, so they aren’t counting on his reprieve. Instead, they’re taking concrete steps to rebuild their own internal communication and infrastructure. For instance, the urban parts of Ontario can only get their petroleum products from US refineries, though some of the crude came from Alberta to Houston first. They’re thinking about building more direct pipelines and refineries to break the roundabout.
Will they also consider breaking out of the ZERO CARBON TYRANNY that stops production and pipelines? Remains to be seen whether survival matters more than Gaian religion.
