Canada’s economy is currently growing and statistics show the economy is expected to continue to grow in the following years. In addition, consumer spending has increased and the housing market conditions have improved. The demand for oil and energy is at an all-time high and the demand is expected to increase through 2017. However, expanded a business into a new market also comes with high risks and potential losses. Major corporations such as Target have tried to enter the Canadian market, but ended up failing and losing profits. In this section, I will discuss economic conditions, business conditions, and risks.
Economic Conditions
Canada is similar to the US in its market-oriented economic system, production, and standards of living. Canada’s economy grew steadily from 1993 through 2007; however, due to downturns in the global financial markets, Canada’s economy followed suit. By the end of 2008’s meltdown, Ottawa experienced its first financial deficit in twelve years. “Canada’s major banks, however, emerged from the financial crisis of 2008-09 among the strongest in the world, owing to the early intervention by the Bank of Canada and the financial sector’s tradition of conservation lending practices and strong capitalization” (CIA, 2015). Canada achieved some moderate growth in 2010-14 and plans to balance the budget by the end of 2015, despite the recent drop in oil prices. Previous growth in its dealings with the U.S. have made Canada the world’s fifth-largest oil

Not only does the Americanization of the Canadian economy change the way Canadians live and conduct business, it also destroys the distinct Canadian culture that Canadians have worked so hard to create. The Americanization of the Canadian economy has lead to the American control of the corporate structure of Canada, high levels dependance on American capital and to the state of the Canadian economy being a mirror image of the state of the American economy. With the high number of American investments in Canada, it is seen as to what a great extent the corporate world of Canada is being controlled by Americans. This leads one to wonder whether or not the Canadian economy ever become independent, or will it forever be dependant on the American economy for

After reading Dinner Party Economics, written by Eveline J. Admit and Richard G. Maranta, I find myself asking many questions. One of which is how Canada is doing with macroeconomics policy and the political debate. Today, March 2016, Canada is not doing its best job. With the current price of the Canadian Dollar, our economy is not in good shape. In the past year, the Canadian Dollar has taken a huge dive. With the rising costs of living, Canadians are finding it harder each year to afford basic needs for their families. Gas prices and fresh food at markets continue to rise to record levels. The unemployment rate in Canada also continues to rise. With less people working full time jobs, families are finding it very difficult to support a family
Diverse and multi-faceted, the Canadian business market is one of the strongest functioning mixed market economies in the world. Within the Canadian economy, the oil and gas sector stands as one of the largest and most influential sectors. The oil and gas industry is unique as it affects almost every person and sector of the economy worldwide, whether it is through commodity or material input costs. In Canada, this growing industry could allow for the country to be the one of the “biggest energy producers in the world” leading to a massive paradigm shift globally.

The Canadian economy has hit a recession because of the fall in oil prices, among multiple other factors. Since Canada is one of the largest producers of oil, this has affected our oil exports, as well as our currency.

To begin, a brief history recap of the financial crises in 2008 will be given. Following that will be a breakdown of how the financial systems were set up in Canada and the U.S. We will then, in detail, discuss the Canadian and the U.S financial markets, in particular, the housing market and how each country was affected by the 2008 financial crisis. Lastly, we will proceed to evaluate the overwhelming differences between Canada and the U.S; from their core financial system to mortgages that allowed the Canadian market to remain excluded from the dire consequences of the US market recession, which followed shortly after the financial crisis.
