China has long wanted to be the #1 country in the world, and in much of he world, they already are #1. The emergence of an unfit demagogue to lead the US (and other western democracies) has long been predicted by Chinese scholars and thinkers as the inevitable end result of  western-style democracies. It appears that Trump is the unfit, dumbass, foolish demagogue China has longed for. What comes next isn't going to pretty, but Trump, and ignorant American voters, who chose to vote for him,  have basically handed China the situation for which they longed. As for Canada, I think we should distance ourselves from Trump and the coming American demise as best possible, as gradually as possible, as we start friending China big league, as Trump would say. We could start by allowing them to buy out our tar sands, to do with as they wish. The rest of Canada would probably get a better deal with China than we will get from letting Alberta sell off the tar sands to the U.S..
