Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government wants to diversify trade and economic ties that are overwhelmingly reliant on the United States. Official data for September show bilateral trade with China accounted for under 7% of the total, compared to 68% for the United States.

This is a HUGE mistake. The Asian nations all have a history of entrenched racism and mercantilism towards the outside world. Canada cannot negotiate from a position of strength. A Canzuk agreement would be a better deal for Canada. After that, as part of a Canzuk Union, Canada would be able to negotiate from a stronger position.
