I prefer my government to be contrary to the US. Trudeau's spending will curb itself while Trump's reckless po;icies will eventually blow up in his face. Harper was never in sync with Obama and except for the the US using us as the scapegoat while they fracked like madmen and shipped deadly coal to Asia., we did OK.
We don't have to be in  sync with the USA economically or politically. We just need to adapt to their mood swings.
