    They will, hence my original comment. When there’s a hot war going on down here, you guys are going to want to pick sides. Having strong relationships with states now whose side you’re probably going to want to pick later is a good idea.

      Your framing of the issue as “pick a side” shows how insulated the US really is from the rest of the world.

      Your “sides” are both awful. One side is generally racist, homophobic, and populist. The other has no teeth, wrings its hands at problems and posts “how do I emigrate to Canada?” on reddit.

      Both sides think only of themselves in international contexts.

      There isn’t must there to “pick” or trust.

      I don’t think you quite understand how little us Canadians want with Americans anymore. You just went from our best friend to our worst enemy overnight.

      That trust you seek from us is shattered for generations at best, forever at worst.

      Stay away or face the consequences. Eat yourselves and leave us alone.

      Not really.
