The vast majority of Canadians want to reduce our reliance on / exposure to Donald Trump's United States. Mark Carney, Danielle Smith, Tim Hodgson & co are all working to achieve the exact opposite.

Mark Carney working to resurrect Stephen Harper's long-dead #KeystoneXL pipeline to send more oil directly to Trump's United States is about as #ElbowsDown a surrender as you can get.
Canadian officials spoke to Trump administration representatives about a proposed revival of part of the canceled Keystone XL oil pipeline in a meeting in Houston this week, Canada’s Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson said Tuesday.
Former foreign affairs minister Lloyd Axworthy said Canada is “abandoning” its historic commitment to preventing the illegal use of aggression.
He said it has become a pattern for Carney to show U.S. President Donald Trump that Canada can be a “complicit partner.”
“What we’re simply endorsing is Trump’s sort of new obsession with becoming an imperial power,” he said. “That’s the worst kind of situation for Canada.”
Though Canada's approach to Iran has been 'well-aligned' with the United States for many years, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government has been reluctant to condemn any suspected violations of international law by President Donald Trump, note foreign policy experts.
Mark Carney's government has 'discreetly' started to make payments toward 14 additional US-built #F35 fighters: 'The fact that Ottawa has started paying for long-lead items for 14 additional fighter jets has not been made public.'
If Mark Carney thinks the F-35 is right for Canada, he should be making the case for it with Canadians. Hiding this from us is not acceptable.

Ottawa has started to make payments for key components for 14 additional U.S.-built F-35s, even as the Carney government has been reviewing future fighter-jet purchases in the context of trade tensions with Washington, sources have told CBC News.
Shame on you, fellow Nova Scotians. #elbowsdown
While Mark Carney's cuts at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada 'are wide-ranging, projects that could help Canadian farmers become less reliant on the US — a major supplier of pesticides and fertilizers — and more adaptable to climate change appear to be the hardest hit.'

"Is Canada morally leaderless?
"Ever since the election, however, there have been deepening signs that it’s now Elbows Down, Thumb in Mouth."
