We can align ourselves with Europe or the US in climate change laws. Europe is quite progressive, the US under Trump, not so much. A fundamental truth is a diverse portfolio. Are we too dependent on trade with the US? I would say, obviously. We need to diversify so we're not dependent on one trading partner. Trump will be in power a maximum of 8 years. Global warming will last thousands. We could just wait until he's gone. What is China going to do? Abandon any environmental laws? I have to wonder how Trump won, but public education in the US is pathetic. I'm a connoisseur of libraries,  and I visited university and public libraries up and down the east and west coast of the US. The west coast libraries were better, but I think per capita, we have much better libraries in Canada. Libraries are virtually ancient history now. Everything is available online, the world's biggest library. Just ask Google, you will find your answer, but it's not peer reviewed. Occam's razor and I've run out.
