The Federal GOP is at 6s & 7s with its several contending factions and the chaotic Trump White House contending factions at odds with each other over how to address pressing issues.  It will be some time before any semblance of order and direction emerges and it's anyone's guess what policies will then be, whether the various initiative will mesh together and whether particular decisions will be reversed or otherwise changed in short order.

There is also the important question of whether particular US policies will make sense in the Canadian context.

A further important issue is whether a general effect of the policies adopted in the US will accelerant and deepen income and wealth inequality in that country with all the negative social, economic and political implications that would follow.  If so, are these policies Canada wants to adopt even if doing so might also entail some advantages for Canada.

Canada must plan carefully but not necessarily act in lock step with the US.
