Honestly, I don't know the current political climate in Canada, but I do know that we're suffering some issues down here. The foundation for eroding rights is being laid. Donald Trump has already signed an executive order the he alone is the final arbiter for how laws are to be interpreted. We know, of course, that belongs to the courts; we also know he has indicated that he will flout court decisions if it pleases him to do so. Trudeau, at least, has volunteered to step aside. Hopefully the damage hasn't been done, or is repairable.

That said, for some time I have thought that it is inevitable - and would benefit everyone - for a strong North American economic union. I don't know exactly how that would look, but I think at least a shared currency, at least, will need to happen.

(as an aside, I'm looking at housing in the Calgary - Edmonton corridor, as well as Chilliwack (my birthplace!), and St John, NB)
