So....was watching a UK podcast that had the British economist/journalist Will Hutton, who knows Carney very well from Carney's time at BoE and he's under the impression that Carney is trying to do something a bit more ambitious than is being discussed here in Canada (because honestly, we never think big about anything). He thinks Carney is trying to get us as deep into the European customs union as possible, and get the deal done asap. Then using that as a bridge to help the UK get one foot back into the continent by giving them the same deal we get. Then working with the leadership of our fancy new new ~25T free trade block and using it's gravity to bring Australia/NZ, Japan, India and anyone else aligned (I'm editorializing here, but SK, Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria would all make sense) into it.
Basically re aligning world trade through our block of democratic allies before turning to cut a bilateral trade deal with China and then finally, dealing with numbnuts to the south of us as a unified group of economies that make up ~50-60% of the world's economy.
This would definitely cast Carney's recent "then Canada will lead" line in a different light and makes his trip to Europe potentially about more than just throwing up middle fingers at Washington.

Theoretical (?) order of the realignment steps would be killer.
