Hey, Canada š
I think we'll be just fine. We need to stick together and work harder to reduce our dependency on the U.S. Let's find new markets, new friends and new ways to work. Let's be innovative and creative. The world loves usāwe'll be just fine. The first thing we need to do is set aside our differences.
I don't solely blame the U.S.āI also blame ourselves for becoming overly dependent on them. It's like in an unbalanced family: when one member holds all the power and others are dependent, it creates a toxic environment. The powerful member knows others rely on them. When the powerful member recognizes that others also have strength, they behave differently. In the same way, by relying too heavily on the U.S., we've created an unhealthy power dynamic. To break free, we need to unite, work with new partners, trust in ourselves, and explore new horizons.
There are 195 countries in the world, and I am sure many of them would be eager to work with us. We simply need to reach out, explore new possibilities, start conversations, and build national/regional teams to identify new partnerships. For those hesitant about new collaborations, remember: we're part of a global family. Don't confine yourself within walls. Step outside, breathe fresh airāthe world is ready to embrace you, and you're ready to shine.
Hey Canada, I know what I'm saying may not be easyāit needs lots of thinking, planning, and work. But it is possible and very important; otherwise, we'll have to live under these pressures forever. As a bonus, we will have many new friends.
I send joy, hope, and positivity.
We'll be just fine, I think, eventually. š
With love ā¤ļø
