Gordon Laxax : It’s hard to believe that the federal government plans to forge closer economic ties with the U.S. when Donald Trump becomes president again.

Canada is not deepening ties with China , Russia , or North Korea , he says.

He says the Canadian government's assessment of the dangers of dictatorships was unbelievably naïve in the past.

Lax: Why give a dictator the economic means to bully Canada into erasing democracy?.
