I agree for the most part but I would humbly submit that, like many Canadians, you still overstate our influence on our neighbour. It pretty much amounts to nil, while we still have the ability to significantly damage ourselves if it's mismanaged.

The incoming administration may or may not "crumble" regardless of what we do. It behooves us to be very circumspect in telling the US how to run their democracy.
