Canadians are better informed about what goes on in US than most Americans. Their economy is about 75% based on trade with US although China is making big inroads. Canadians live in the shadow of a giant, the US. That makes them keen to ascertain, understand and try to predict the giant's every move. Canada depends on US military might to protect them just in case. Meanwhile, Chinese are the fastest growing and largest minority ethnic population in Canada whose total population, despite immense landmass, is only about 40 million. China interests, which always include CPC as silent partner, have been buying up Canadian natural resource companies, farmland, urban properties etc. It's possible that, in the future, we Americans may find that China isn't just a country across the sea.
