NATION OF PEOPLE | Canada’s trade war is forcing us to ask: Who are we?
Description
As Mark Carney looks to Europe and other global markets amid the worsening Canada-U.S. trade war, Natalie St. Hilaire and Randy Royer ask how Canada became so dependent on its southern neighbour in the first place. Royer says decades of economic complacency, weak investment and growing reliance on the American market left Canada dangerously exposed when Donald Trump turned toward protectionism. They also examine what makes Canadian political culture different from the U.S., how the 1982 Constitution changed that relationship and whether Canada can rebuild its economic independence.
