Small country like Canada with not many products competitive, need to diversify its export markets, leverage your trade relationship with many bigger players and get the best deals;  Not sitting on your A**, and sell to the states, because it is easy. Putting all your eggs on one basket is risky. Trump is not our president, and don't expect him to look after our interest. Move out your comfort zone, and explore the world market, work harder, get a united front among provinces and people, like between alberta and BC, you can't even get a pipeline built, who else to blame but yourself!
