That pattern of dependency was created by the Conservatives as well. The previous Liberal government had built a robust international economic, but the Conservatives were busy trying to destroy it during their first five years. Even now, they're making completely retarded decisions, like going to China to solicit investment, then start crying about national security when CNOOC tries to invest in a Canadian oil company.

You're right. Harper's foreign policies are really all over the place. One moment he's being a hardcore wannabe towards China(earlier years), and now he's on his knees busy blowing Chinese cigar with one hand holding a Israeli-made while the other hand an American-made. Try not to visualize as it's going to be a very traumatic scene.
