Independence Day celebrations in the United States occur amid a fractured political landscape. The U.S. has distanced itself from its historical world order, impacting its allies and trade partners. Canada, closely linked to the U.S., faces a daunting challenge due to America's apparent decline. The Canadian government, led by Mark Carney, is attempting to forge new trade and security partnerships while reducing dependency on the U.S. This shift requires significant foundational work to adapt to a post-American world.
The political system the flag and the parades and fireworks are supposed to represent is in tatters, but everybody likes a party.
The United States is retreating from the world, reshaping the lives of its former trading partners and allies, leaving huge holes in its wake.
The Canadian strategy, undertaken with vigor by the newly elected government of Mark Carney, has been clear in spirit at least: a polite go fuck yourself.
Canada is like a beautiful mansion with huge chunks of the foundation missing.
