Now that Britain is finally out of the European Union, there are calls for Canada to do more to strengthen ties with its traditional ally.

Conservative MP and leadership candidate Erin O'Toole says instead of putting effort into such endeavours as pursuing a seat at the U.N. Security Council, Canada “should be focused on coordinating with our allies and re-stimulating those alliances.”
