The World of Economics - International Economics Group: For decades, Canada's economy was based on a significant advantage: easy and extensive access to the U.S. market. Geographic proximity, shared production chains, and trade agreements had led a large portion of Canada's exports to head south. However, changes in Washington's trade policy have posed a serious challenge to this pattern. The Mark Carney government now aims to restructure the country's economy in a way that minimizes the impact of reduced trade with the U.S. on growth, investment, and employment.
