      The above plus:

      Hit American services with an import tax.
      USA always push numbers on trade excluding services, because USA has a huge surplus on services.

      Stop buying American weapons and planes.
      Those are often excluded too in trade numbers, and again places where USA has huge trade surplus.

      Then form a “country club”, where Canada and other countries work together to prevent dependency on USA. I’m sure EU and other European countries would love to cooperate more with Canada.

      Reduce the immigration rate

      It’s the only way to keep the working-age population steady, sorry.

      The problem is we’re living longer, and that’s your 3% increase. You could try culling the oldies but it may be a hard sell.

      Also, don’t concentrate people in a single place. It’s wrong to have a 4% population growth in Toronto and 0.5% elsewhere.

      Is there a mechanism for anchoring immigrants in a specific location? My understanding is that our charter right of freedom of movement means that if everyone wants to go to Toronto, we can’t stop them once they’re in the country.
