Canada ’s exposure to trade risk is older than the country itself, authors say.

From fish to furs, energy to auto, Canada has always been dependent on trade with outsized partners.

Canada 's reliance on a few key industries — energy, automotive and metals — further entrenches this dependence.

Canada must reframe its relationship with the U.S. , integrating trade within broader frameworks of defence, energy security, food security, critical minerals and supply chain integration.

A food security framework would see Canada leverage its agricultural strength to advance organic and regenerative farming.

harvesting Canada ’s critical minerals — including lithium, nickel and cobalt — for use in EV batteries and components will help catalyze North America's EV production capabilities.

Deeper co-operation with our American cousins is required to secure continued access to the U.S. market.
