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?


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.
