Canada Re-Imagined After Trump

Patrick Esmonde-White

Canada Re-Imagined After Trump examines the challenges and opportunities for Canada with a fifty-year outlook.

  • Introduction : Patrick Esmonde-White introduces himself and sets the context for the new series, highlighting the political and environmental challenges facing Canada in the age of Trump.
  • Political Landscape: Canada Re-Imagined critiques the major political parties in Canada, pointing out their weaknesses and the need for bold ideas.
  • Constitutional Renovation: The argument is made that renovation of Canada's Constitution is needed to address issues such as climate change, inequality, health care, and political inefficiency.
  • Defense Strategy: The United States is the greatest threat to Canada. An alternative defense strategy should focus on international aid, cyber-security, perimeter defense, a total overhaul of the armed forces, and a Climate Corps.
  • Economic Wealth: Green mining can be the cornerstone for Canada's future wealth. This will require technology such as micro nuclear reactors and hydrogen airships, and collaboration with Indigenous communities.
  • Indigenous Relations: The time is right for a Grand Bargain with Indigenous peoples: the creation of a new First Nation province offering self-government, fair revenue sharing and ecosystem preservation.
  • Rewilding Canada: A sustainable planet requires rewilding and ecological restoration of Canada's forests, farms, and fisheries. This can combat climate change and create sustainable economic opportunities.
  • Québec Independence: It is time for Canada to explore the advantage of Québec becoming an independent nation within a cooperative framework, allowing both Canada and Québec to thrive.
  • New Commonwealth: Canada needs allies, and can find them by helping build a New Commonwealth of Democracies to lead global efforts in trade, security, and climate action, and to move beyond the limitations of current international organizations.
