I saw someone saying recently that Canada has made a huge shift away from the US. As someone Canadian, I haven’t noticed anything beyond relatively minor individual decisions (IE, not going to the US as a tourist). I’d like to be wrong, but from my understanding, this is effectively nothing. Has there actually been any sort of large scale move away from US dependence?
For a question as broad as ‘what is this country doing about that other country’, it might be a good idea to drop the editorial names and instead include position descriptors. Canadian politicians don’t have the same name recognition as American counterparts.
Mark Carney is Canada’s Prime Minister, who won the position over Pierre Poilievre.
I was thinking the same thing; we don’t have an executive, we have a cabinet. Sure, Carney has set up a small group of ministers as a kind of mini executive and himself thinks in executive terms, but even with all that, the Prime Minister can’t act without majority cabinet support.
