Why not just expand the Quad then, instead of creating a new framework?
Canada wasn’t invited to join the Quad.
The U.S. has rejected the idea Canada having nuclear powered submarines in the past (1980s?). One reason I heard was it may have something to do with the U.S. not accepting Canada’s sovereignty over the Northwest Passage in the Arctic.
Canada’s inflation rate dropped from 5.9% in January to 5.2% in February BUT on a provincial level the inflation rate in February varies widely from 6.7% to 3.6%.
Canada: 5.9 to 5.2
Newfoundland and Labrador: 5.5 to 5.4
Prince Edward Island: 7.0 to 6.7
Nova Scotia: 6.9 to 6.5
New Brunswick: 6.5 to 5.9
Quebec: 6.2 to 5.6
Ontario: 5.6 to 5.1
Manitoba: 6.9 to 6.4
Saskatchewan: 6.0 to 5.7
Alberta: 5.0 to 3.6
British Columbia: 6.2 to 6.2

Global News reported Wednesday that Ontario MP Han Dong privately advised a senior Chinese diplomat in February 2021 that Beijing should hold off freeing Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, according to two separate national security sources
Halifax and Moncton are leading the way it seems. Here's hope that this growth will help the launch of the Atlantic Schooners CFL Team. IMO Saint John still has a ways to go. It quite resembles Portland, Maine from 25-30 years ago. Still, there is hope.

That is interesting. I rather liked Portland, Maine, 25 - 30 years ago.
Saint John is a nice place. I had an extended stay there some years ago, as my car broke down, and had to spend a few days in the shop. Thankfully, the car was still under warranty, so all I had to pay for was my stay, and meals. And there was nothing wrong with either.
But with little else to do while the car was in the shop, I explored. Pretty much all on foot, and I wandered all over. I found some very old cemeteries, and lovely old buildings with beautiful and unique stone carvings on them. I learned that at one time, Saint John was a major shipbuilding centre--the bartender at my hotel was a native, and he had a lot of tips on what to see, and explained the history of what I would see. I was fascinated by the tides (this is what happens when you grow up in a place without tides), and took a boat tour up the Reversing Falls, thanks to the tides.
A very nice city, with friendly people, and lots to see and do. My car was eventually fixed, and I left, but rather reluctantly. I hope to return some day.

I visited Saint John for the first time last June, saw the Reversing Falls, Fort Howe, etc.. I was happy to have seen it but it's probably not a city I would be thrilled to visit again in the near future. There are some aspects I liked about it too though of all the Canadian cities I had visited, it is definitely one of the most run down. Saint John really felt a lot more like - home i.e. New England. That's probably not a surprise given it is just an hour from the border. Saint John's crumbly, weed laden streets juxtaposed with its dense, working class architecture (Cape Cod homes and triple deckers in Canada!?) really made it feel like Fall River or New Bedford, MA albeit without the higher crime of its American twins. Irving's oil refinery definitely could fit in New Bedford or Fall River's setting. Downtown Saint John including the old port is a concern because 1) the New Brunswick Museum, the oldest museum in Canada, is indefinitely closed and may not ever be opened in Downtown again, 2) Brunswick Square, the main shopping centre, is over half vacant with no major anchor, and 3) there are still many run down buildings around Downtown. I can feel the neediness of the City by the looks of Downtown. Like Portland, ME, I can see Saint John relies heavily on cruise ship tourism. I mean the City has potential because it has a rich old history and is close by to other interesting places such as St. Martins but right now, unless a cruise ship is docked there or there's some major festival, it is quite dead on a normal day. I hope the City sees better days ahead.
Interestingly, he's only the ninth American president who has been invited to address Parliament.
I always imagined IF, and it's a big IF, that if Trump were invited, he'd try and sit in the Speaker's Chair
