Ventures Dialogue

The European Union and the United States “are stepping up their competitive game, and Canada must do the same or be left behind.” 

These are words of prodding from Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in the article,  Ailing economic giant has Canada looking beyond U.S. for markets, by Mike Blanchfield and Andrew Mayeda, Canwest News Service. 

This piece discusses the shift taking place in Canada’s foreign policy away from the United States as a main priority to foreign markets such as China, India and Brazil.

Yuen Pau Woo  of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada also comments,

“But the Conservative government still has a lot of work to do to correct the impression they have neglected China and India.”
