Coleman’s view is that Trump’s bellicose language and threats of tariffs aren’t aimed toward any type of precise annexation of Canada. Slightly, he suppose Trump is pushing Canada in the direction of a more in-depth financial union with the US, considerably akin to the European Union. Coleman’s view is that Trump might push Canada into accepting freer flows of capital and labour between our two nations, which may very well be of financial profit to all concerned.
The way by which such a deal comes about may very well be of significance within the short-term. Trump is hardly a politician within the mould of the stolid European diplomats who laid the foundations of the EU. Trump, Coleman admits, is much extra more likely to make numerous noise and show a willingness to destabilize issues. That strategy, Coleman argues, can truly get extra outcomes quicker than a extra staid, consultative method. Regardless of the noise popping out of the US, Coleman argues that Trump has articulated a course for US-Canada relations whereas our management in Ottawa is “standing round our footwear.”
What Coleman describes as a dearth of management in Canada since Justin Trudeau introduced his resignation final week has, in his view, made Canada much less engaging for international and home traders, particularly when contrasted towards the US.
“For those who’re a world investor, which one appears to be like like the higher place to place your capital?,” Coleman asks.
Past the outlook for international traders, Coleman sees a lot of his personal youthful shoppers transferring to the US to pursue new profession alternatives. With a lot of Canada’s youthful technology of wealth creators contemplating the US as a greater place to construct that wealth, Coleman sees probably dire dangers for Canada within the long-term.
