    Of course not, but when the media blitz from the government is specifically “we’ll be our own best customer” and “buy Canadian”, it’s worth asking. I’m ok with it as long as it’s: 

    a) transparent 
    b) has a specific cap on how much is technically not from here/being reinvested here. 

    I hate when our government makes the Trudeau blunders of keeping details like this hidden, giving fodder/distraction for the opposition. There’s no longer nuance, it’s “we found this detail out” -> “CORRUPTION!!”. So transparency is incredibly important now. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    * The following opinion is mine and mine alone and does not represent the views of my family, friends, government and/or my past, present or future employer. US Department of State: 1-888-407-4747.

    To the b) above, how do you account for the cap? There may be $1B this year, $800M next, etc. until you can’t buy from elsewhere, without major investment and time.

    Canada and all current trading partners of the US should be doing this as clearly, the US voters and current and potentially subsequent administrations can’t be trusted.
