For too long, Canada’s foreign policy, trade strategy, and even our sense of self has revolved around two poles: the United States and Europe. We talk about “diversification” in polite policy papers but rarely act on it with the urgency that the changing world order now demands. Prime Minister Mark Carney says his vision for Canada is to “diversify our trading partners.” To secure our future, we need to move beyond the vision and act by engaging with those nations ready to do business with us.
