The point of CUSMA negotiations the whole time has been to try to maintain a position that benefits from deep integration with the US. What did people think it was about? Diversification is about hedging, reducing risk, and gaining leverage but the whole point of CUSMA negotiations is just trying to get the most favourable terms possible while trying to stay deeply integrated. Carney touts us having the best trade terms with them all the time. Our energy minister is touting Canada's role in US energy dominance and pushing the idea of Fortress North America. We are integrating with NSA laws on border security, integrating with the Golden Dome, integrating on critical minerals, we are embracing massive military spending at their request while we won't say shit about their illegal wars. There's a disturbing trend towards blind patriotism in a segment of Carney supporters where they have fallen so hard for "elbows up" nationalism and Canadian exceptionalism that they turn anything into 4D chess kool-aid and deceive themselves into not trusting what's right in front of their noses.
