A fateful reminder of what this country aspired to before falling into the Conservative spider web of free trade with the US. Once in the web, we became increasingly entangled and trapped until we were immobilized. Here’s hoping that the events of 2025 have reignited our drive and energy. Electing and supporting Carney, centrist though he may be, is a good attempt at breaking out.

The 2024 trade data underscores that entanglement: 76% of Canada's merchandise exports headed south of the border. Geography and integrated supply chains explain much of this pull, beyond any single policy. Carney's steady hand as prime minister offers a pragmatic path to diversify without isolation— a centrist reset that builds on those 2025 sparks.
