Canada

Sad to say, but if I'm being honest, I think we are very much headed for even deeper integration and subservience to the US.

When Carney first got elected, he looked to the UK and EU for support. They both bent the knee to the US pretty quickly. Now, he's looking more to APAC, but the reality is, we're trapped.

US strategy is pushing the war with Russia onto Europe so they can focus on China. Europe will be dependent on the US for support, and if they're wrapped up with Russia there's no way they're coming to our aid against the US.

The US will aim to consolidate control over the Americas and the resources needed to fuel their war before things kick off with China. We will be expected to integrate into the Golden Dome, feed them our rare earth and other resources, engage our manufacturing to support them, and to do all as we are told to do. If not, regime change comes our way or Alberta might just be our Crimea.

None of our elites will want war with the US, they won't have anyone to turn to, and they'll see the opportunities for their own benefit in the arrangement. Even if it's not their preference, they will go for an arrangement where Canada gives up all but an illusion of sovereignty while they make money and preserve their positions of authority with an appearance of some legitimacy in Canadian society. Better for them than taking on the risks of conflict with the US.

Canadians will be persuaded to go along with it by being sold the story of the greater evils to be faced in Russia and China and the illusion of Canadian sovereignty being preserved even as we are a completely subservient resource colony. A lot of Canadians will also be happy just to see the prospect of making money as resource industries, agriculture, and manufacturing all ramp up. Meanwhile, our policies around security, immigration, economy, financial services etc. all become whatever the US tells us.
