Canada

Because other countries need to know we keep our word.

That's complete nonsense. First of all, I don't know who these countries are. Second of all, all they learn is that Canada will bend over under pressure. This is not an arbitrary reneging on a deal, it's a response to aggression by the other country. If you made a deal with somebody and they later came to your house to try to rob you, nobody would fault you for pulling out of doing deals with them. You really got a get a better narrative going there.

Examples? Pipeline to the Pacific and opening trade up with Europe suggests otherwise.

Ramming pipelines through indigenous land in a middle of the climate crisis while doubling down on trade with Europe where economies are now collapsing is not the kind of development that I'm looking for. As I already stated, I want to see development of Canadian industry, clean energy, infrastructure, housing, and healthcare. He's doing none of that.

Where do you think most of that money is going to be spent? In Canada.

The actual question is WHAT that money will be spent on. Unlike you, I don't care about Canadian oligarchs stuffing their coffers.

I’m no partisan, but I do think he was the best of the options available to us.

That's a thought terminating cliche. Claiming you have to choose between two evils and there is absolutely nothing else people could be doing is precisely the sort of idiocy that got us where we are today. People could be protesting, organizing unions, doing general strikes, and taking real political action that affects business interests. Their profits going down is the only language they understand. Instead, we have people like you braying how we just have to vote harder.
