@persagen

Any chance for the latter?

The Canadian internal market is less integrated than the EU's Single Market.

Corporations/billionaires/lobbyists (as in the U.S.) run this country - e.g. SNC Lavalin affair; KPMG; McKinsey & Co.; Bloor Street; ... ...

@persagen

Not too different from the EU although we had managed to push them back for a while. Are now under pressure, too, but will not go down without fighting for our rights and protections!

@proscience @persagen We need to build up non US markets, including stronger ties to EU.

A lot of Canadians are so ticked off at US that they are already being more thoughtful with purchases. Newfoundland is apparently pondering keeping US alcohol out of their liquor stores. I won't be buying any more California wines.

@CStamp

The most important thing is to abandon every American IT and communications as they will use your data against anyone. Then stop buying via Amazon or using their services. No new Teslas etc.

I'd be happy if we had much closer ties although it'll take time.

The idea of joining the EU is a unicorn but the gist is absolutely right.

All these fascists will achieve is a much earlier implosion of their superpower status than it would have happened otherwise.
