Canada must ‘clear’ to make it clear that action against her sovereignty would be "Extremely costly" for the United States," said the authors in an interview with Bloomberg, calling on Ottawa to invest in national service and defence of the country, make a national drone strategy and fast improvement of the national defence industry.
Trump has already exerted considerable economical force on Ottawa over the past year, imposing duties of up to 35% on a wide scope of goods while threatening to extend them to even more sectors.
