If Bernier wins the leadership, Trudeau will hammer him over 'being a sellout to Trump', just like Turner hammered Mulroney over 'being a sellout to Reagan'. Hopefully, the thinly veiled arrogance of Canadians doesn't get in Bernier's way, because like him or not, he's right. Protectionism hurts Canadian consumers, and if this leads to a trade war and Trump repealing NAFTA, 25% of Canadian jobs are threatened.
Trump is dangerous to Canada, he won on a platform of protectionism. Trudeau did a great job in keeping trade intact. But supply management is the opposite of what NAFTA hoped to achieve. We're paying far too much for milk and eggs in Canada, and the dairy cartel is threatening a trade war with Trump. We are far more reliant on the states than vice versa. We WILL lose a trade war. Trudeau's strongest point is diplomacy, so I'm not scared of brash actions. But he has to listen to Bernier. Protectionism does not protect Canada, it threatens it.
