Submission Statement : A fundamental flaw in Canada’s economic strategy is the oerdependence on a single trading partner. Alberta, for instance, sends the vast majority of its oil to the United States, often at a discount that does not reflect its true value. This reliance not only undermines our economic potential but also leaves us vulnerable to the whim of U.S. policy. Diversifying our trade relationships—whether by expanding pipelines to serve domestic markets or by strengthening ties with other countries—is not just an economic necessity but a matter of national resilience and security.

That’s probably not gonna happen, Canada is a resource economy. The second largest manufacturing base in the world sits below it, with a shared culture, language (mostly) and some of the lowest international trade barriers. Canada should be focused on developing its higher value added products if it wants greater economic sovereignty.

If Canadians want representation with their tariff taxation, there is only one way to do that.
