The millions of Canadians suffering only works for a time. In the end people will vote away freedom in exchange for a piece of bread. This much has been proven by history. So in any plan that involves the suffering of millions, there has to be a portion that ends that suffering in as short time frame as possible. I'm not sure there is one at the moment. There are some concepts of a plan. I don't know if we can realistically do this for example without opening up trade with China and only relying on the EU as a replacement to the US. And right now we're taking a more or less China Bad stance. Perhaps this would change if we get fucked by Trump. Perhaps Carney is using this as a stick in negotiations. E.g. if you fuck us, we'll have no choice but to do China OK in order to take care of Canadians. Maybe the EU is enough, I don't know. I just know that the EU themselves are dependent on China in a few areas and we shouldn't be paying their profit margins to get the same stuff.
