If I am a prophet, the trade war our government has committed to with the US spells disaster for Canada.
A nation can decline quickly. In 1950, the Philippines were the richest country in Asia. Detroit was the richest city in America. Argentina was part of the First World.
Bad government can destroy. Any country is vulnerable.
Canada has had recklessly bad government since 2015.
I think Carney walked away from the trade deal his government had negotiated, because he was starting to get negative feedback. A lot of Canadians were irate at the harsh terms. The bad trade deal is largely if not entirely due to his “elbows up” tactics.
Carney saw the Canadian public were going to blame him, notably in Quebec, and he was unlikely as a result to stay in office.
Walking away and having no deal is worse for Canada, but better for Carney. Now he can blame Trump instead of taking the blame, and stir up anti-Americanism.
Like Castro, or Maduro, or the mullahs in Iran. This never bodes well for the general public.
God help Canada.
