Being America鈥檚 鈥渘ice neighbour鈥 won鈥檛 get us anywhere in this situation. President-elect Trump鈥檚 intention to impose 25% tariffs signals that the U.S.-Canada trade relationship is no longer about mutual benefit. To him, it鈥檚 about winners and losers鈥攚ith Canada on the losing end.

We鈥檙e facing a significant shift in the relationship between long-standing allies. Canada鈥檚 signature approach needs to evolve: we must be prepared to take a couple of punches if we鈥檙e going to stake out our position. It鈥檚 time to trade 鈥渟orry鈥 for 鈥渟orry, not sorry.鈥

Candace Laing, President & Chief Executive Officer
