There's a big threat in the instability of our southern neighbour. One way to address that threat is to institutionalize and depoliticize our military-to-military relationships and also those at other levels, like trade, institutional, cultural, etc. We should do that much more, I think, to prevent the chaos coming from a new Trumpist administration.
For instance, in all the instability, it could trade with its affinity with Russia. You can see that in its position. You can see in the Republican Party the division right now on whether the west should continue to arm the Ukrainians. You will see those divides with the far right in many countries. Canada should prevent that.
To do that, we need to institutionalize those relationships below the political level, so they exist notwithstanding who the leaders of any countries are.
