John Ibbitson: "MAGA does see Canada in some ways as an enemy. And to the extent that we continue to be sovereign, not in the shadow of the US, not as a 51st state, it enrages them. And it is that rage that we hear from Trump when he says China is a much better country to deal with than Canada."

If we manage to continue as a civilization — something AI executives note is only 90 per cent likely — we’re going to see huge economic shifts.
