Lots of people seem to think the world has 2 solitudes: American or British. Reducing influence by one doesn't automatically mean one becomes more like the other. We need not gravitate to either. It's time to accept that we're a strong independent nation and shake the habit of seeing the world as either British or American.
There are 200+ nations in the world. I'd like to know what's going on in these places instead of incessant news about Trump and what Kate Middleton is wearing. CANZUK? No thank you. I'd be more interested in CANAMEX.

Things have never evolved in any other way in Canada. As they say, nature abhors a vacuum.
Every time there has been a hole to be filled in Canada as a result of British or Canadian influences receding, it's U.S. stuff that fills the hole every single time.
