love this idea the problem is that Canadian mid/high earners will move to the U.S. and U.S. mid/low earners will move to Canada, such that the Canadian system will no longer work whereas the U.S. will be fine.

Bilateral trade/labour agreement is extremely likely. But then so is WW3

could definitely see bilateral labour agreements, not sure we’ll see a “citizenship swap” though as much as I’d love to see it

No I agree. What I’d see is like the arrangement with the EU. Free border crossing, work between the agreeing parties, free trade like we have now with NAFTA/USMCA. I suspect Mexico will be ousted from that agreement and the US and Canada will form a cozy agreement where they retain sovereignty but provide every other benefit to each other. Then Canada and the US will each form what are essentially unilateral agreements with Mexico where they starve Mexico of value and eventually Mexico will join BRICs making it even stronger and further guaranteeing the US becomes the fallen hegemon of the new world order. That’s just my opinion.

appreciate you sharing your views! what you describe makes sense, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. I’d love to see Trump try to brain drain canada by offering easy citizenship, sooo many would leave and property values here would return to earth.

Love that hypothesis. It’s totally feasible and I would happily snag a home if they ever come into the stratosphere. Let’s hope you’re right.
