The asymmetry is interesting. It suggests that while Canada has reason to fear what this US administration might do next, the latter's aggressive approach to neighbours and former friends is far from having majority popular support. To change that they may create situations, step by step.
Note that regarding the new Trump-Putin axis, if you look at a globe Greenland is geographically halfway (between central US and central Russia excluding Siberia). For such connection across the arctic, Canada is in the way, but maybe if the most conservative and fossil-dependent provinces could be split from the others, they'd have a clear path for such axis ...
Could this issue help Liberals, NDP and Québécois to cooperate in face of such new threat ?
We also need a Canada-Europe alliance.
