Unreliable Boyfriend — Chrystia Freeland’s roadmap for dealing with a chaotic superpower
Former Canadian deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland’s new book, Unreliable Boyfriend, examines the deterioration of Canada-U.S. relations under President Donald Trump. It highlights the impact of his tariffs, threats to Canadian sovereignty and unpredictable foreign policy. Freeland says reducing dependence on the U.S. through diversified trade, stronger economic security, more resilient supply chains, deeper defence alliances and greater domestic self-reliance is necessary.
