"What should Canada do?"

Start by smartening up on stuff grade school kids know, but our politicians apparently don't.

Like Canada's northern latitude,-- which means a high subsistence cost because of the need for heat, light, and foods that don't grow very well in snow.

How smart is it to enter a "free trade agreement" with a country such as Mexico, whose costs are so much lower than ours because of this? How smart is it to tax carbon that both individual Canadians and our industry depend on for basic needs such as heating for almost half the year?

Given the need for industry to pay our bills, we must drastically reduce the cost of government as an "overhead" on productive activities to have any semblance of trade even with protective tariffs, and for the destructive fantasy of "free trade", cut these costs to the bone. We also need to strip away regulatory red tape strangling industry, the result of politicians trying to outdo each other with their moral exhibitionism.
