These resources are either sold primarily, or are then manufactured or turned into forms of services which result in trade. Therefore, the basic fundamental for any industry and trade is the landscape of the country.

The Canadian fur trade played a key role in the development of Canada as a country in many ways, largely because of the growing need for furs by women overseas. The fur trade acted as the early foundation of the Canadian economy.

Before the war Canada had trade deals with Britain. On the other hand the United States became the world leader in the global economy after the war, and during the 1920s, the United States invested much more money in Canada. At the same time Britain owed a great debt. Canada became more socially, politically, and economically when U.S. made advance them.

One of the important study on cross border freight transportation was done by (Woudsma, 1999). The main purpose of this study was to understand the nature of cross-border market and to study the impacts of deregulation and Free trade agreements on the market. Before deregulation, the trucking companies from both countries didn’t compete with each other directly. They were engaging in inter-line agreements. In these agreements, a firm based in one nation would handle freight till the border crossing and hand over to another firm based in the other country to handle freight from there onwards. After deregulation, these firms could establish operations across the borders. Thus, both U.S and Canadian trucking firms were directly competing with each other for market share in both territories. Due to free trade agreements, the demand pattern had

Fair trade is vital to respect democracy, enrich communities, and preserve our natural environment. However free trade agreements have the opposite effect. In the past 6 years alone, over 350,000 Canadian manufacturing jobs have been lost mostly because of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Canada has been sued by NAFTA 37 times. $160 million worth of fines have already been paid by Canada but we are already facing another $4-5-billion worth of NAFTA lawsuits. Quebec recently but a temporary ban on fracking in the St. Lawrence river and NAFTA is suing the Canadian government for $250,000,000 because of this. Free trade organizations will sue over any laws that get in the way of profits. In NAFTA’s investment chapter, there is

Since confederation, Canada has had a complicated relationship with its southerly neighbor; the United States of America. History shows us that cooperation with the United States is purely happenstance, only really having advancements and changes occur when compatible leaders from compatible parties are in office at the same time. Over the years, our proximity has led to competing economies and markets, with many industries fearful of one another. The leaders of our two countries realised the biggest threats and issues between us have always been associated with trade. Protective policies such as tariffs have been implemented throughout history as temporary solutions. When ‘temporary’ stopped working, a new solution needed to be found. The discovered solution came in a time when compatible leaders decided on a movement towards a permanent trade agreement between our two countries. The Free Trade Agreement of 1988 and the North American Free Trade Agreement of 1994 are Canada’s two most prominent examples of successful free trade agreements with America. However, like all cooperative agreements, when one party changes its opinion or policies, the agreement can become at risk. Even when both parties are in an agreeance, the outcome can effect them in ways they can’t imagine. Despite the prosperity the Free Trade agreements have brought to the Canadian economy over the years, the subsequent reliance on the United States for trade has increased, becoming a
