Canadians don’t want to give up their sovereignty, but they really find an economic union more attractive by the minute as the world changes. Strength through economy, through economic strength is very powerful. The low-hanging fruit would be a common currency. That means you’d be merging some of the functionality of the Bank of Canada with the Fed.
I would ask Trump to consider that these ministers he’s meeting with from Canada and Justin Trudeau, are about to be wiped off the face of the map in an election. He’s very unpopular and Canadian people don’t want him representing them. President-elect Trump should wait on all of these ideas until the Canadians have had a chance to elect their new leadership so that he’s dealing with somebody, a leader, that has the same mandate as him, because you can’t get this stuff done overnight.
