As much as I'd like to, fully disengaging with the US, even only on trade, is simply impossible. Even if we were at a shooting war with each other, we'd probably still be trading because stopping entirely just isn't realistic. Hell, Ukraine still trades with Russia right now.

We will always trade with the US unless if one of us somehow ceases to exist. That doesn't mean that we can't diversify though. We are far too reliant on the US for trade, as that puts us at their mercy on quite a few issues. It's the entire reason why Alberta sells them oil far below world market prices, because we don't sell oil to anybody else, so the US gets to dictate prices, and they say that they won't buy unless if we give them 30% off on everything.
