Canada can be a super BRAIN powerhouse, its success in funding deep learning/reinforcement learning through its dark days, showing some really interesting perspectives of how its research system works, and it seems pretty solid and robust and have a different focus on long term goal. And I would predict, as Trump administration continues to use immigration as scapegoats to push for its agenda and its political vision turns inwards into infighting, US cannot be that techie/entrepreneur wonderland it once persuades the world it is.
However, there is no chance Canada can be a global power on all scales, as what US is now. They don't have big enough of population, not that important as a market, much of its land is not inhabitable or farmable, and it surely cannot catch up with US as regards to the military power.
Mind you that Canada have its own conservative power, it is just a different cycle, and it surely gets a lot of inspiration from Trump's takeover. So, let's be a little realistic and don't let your emotion triumphs over your rationale.
