The Trade Between Canada And Canada

How has international trade involving Canada changed over the 50 year period in the graph?

Admittedly, during NAFTA 's first nine years, employment in Canada grew by over 19% but this period of Canadian job gains under NAFTA should be set against the prior, six-year period, of heavy job losses under CUFTA. Between CUFTA and NAFTA, from 1988 - 1994, Canada lost 334,000 manufacturing jobs, equivalent to 17% of total manufacturing employment in the year before CUFTA came into effect. In 2002, Canada was “marked by a superficially impressive increase of 560,000 jobs in Canada, but 40% of them were part-time and another 17%

For my opinion, International trade is important for many countries right now. Specially, Export is more than import that get the country become well in economy. Canada is the neighbor to America and have a big partner with the USA while Australia is depend on China which China is the largest developing economy, and is growing rapidly in the world trade. Also, Restrictive textile agreement that help U.S.A more export and still keep the job for people or it may reduce opportunities for trade? Because right now its technology and International trade now.

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. The trade increased international trade and consequence acted as a driver of extending the exploration of the vast Canadian wilderness - much further than would otherwise have occurred. Concurrently, one of the more important outcomes of the fur trade was that it acted as the catalyst increasing the relationship between the European and First Nations People.

With trade increasing in Canada, on the one hand, it increases the demand for more people to do the work, which means that more people get a job and have more money to spend on goods that are imported from other countries. On the other hand, Canadian companies in different divisions from automotive, to energy, to agriculture(www.theglobeandmail.com) have to hire more people that are able to work because there are more products that should people to deal with between trade and with Canadian companies are becoming more profitable, it has more money to hire more people. For example, jobs are increased in the area of transportation in order to get the products to the stores. According to the fact, the agreement has helped produce over 1.8 million new jobs for Canadians at first 5 years of NAFTAs existence (www.nafta.ca). However, NAFTA makes huge damage for the Canadian automotive industry because with a stronger automotive union, every year will require higher wages, which slows process and makes it inflexible and expensive (www.international.gc.ca). Although NAFTA hurts the auto industry in Canada, it brings more benefits to Canada because it decrease the unemployment and improve the Canadian economy and condition of

Canada, Mexico and the United States were all involved in NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. This agreement had really helped improve Canada’s economy and raised the standards of living in Canada. NAFTA had also proved itself to be a solid foundation to building Canada’s prosperity which is good for Canada’s independence as well (North, 1). After the free trade agreement, there were many positive effects in the Canadian economy. John F. Kerry, an American politician had once said, “NAFTA recognizes the reality of today's economy - globalization and technology.”(John, 1) This agreement states that Canada is helping in globalizing the economy of not only America but Canada and Mexico as well. In this case, the agreement is improving and benefiting the Canadian economy very well which is great for Canada's independence. It shows that Canada can make its own decisions with other countries to benefit their own country in many ways economic wise as well as independence wise. This also shows that although Canada and America are important trading partners, it doesn't necessarily mean that one country is a step behind the other. It means that if they work together, they can benefit each other and help improve one another's growth as

Belgium is Canada’s 12th export destination with $873 million and is also the 19th country regarding imports with $776 million. Canadian exports to Belgium amounted to $2.3 billion in. The major entry point in trading goods between Canada and Europe is the Port of Antwerp.

The idea of trading first started long before the confederation of Canada was formed. French travelers known as the Voyageurs had been trading guns and furniture with the First Nations people for furs and fish. The French learned of First Nations people that had exceptional hunting and fishing skills, these people were known as the Coureurs de Bois. The french befriended the them and began to trade much more often with them. These trades caused the English to want to jump on trading and began to rival the French. The trades made by the English caused the creation the Hudson’s Bay Company for fur trade.

The Trans-Atlantic Trade has diversified the economy more in the North than in the South. While Southern farmers were able to acquire more lands and so more slaves; Northern farmers had to look for other opportunities. The economic development in the eighteenth century combined with the population growth changes the way people saw themselves, but also the way people understand the authority that surrounded them. Economic growth in America also led to the development of social life with the diversification of the society. While the market economy created those with wealth and those who seemed to be permanently poor, social hierarchy became challenged by the social stratification of the society. Blackburn, Robin (1997) highlights in his article

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

Canada is a country in North America bordering the United States. It extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east, to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and the Arctic Ocean to the north and consists of mostly plains with mountains in the west. Recent events that have affected Canada include Parliament approving a $30 billion stimulus package to shore up the economy during the global financial crisis in 2009. In 2015, growth slowed significantly because of the decline in investment in the oil and gas sector following the reduction in revenues and profits in the sector, a consequence of the fall in oil prices. The government plans to spend $60 billion over ten years in infrastructure projects to stimulate economic activity. The first phase of this

“By 1988 three-quarters of Canadian trade was already with the United States” (White 1994). By the time negotiations concerning NAFTA commenced in 1990, proponents of the aforementioned Free Trade Agreement (FTA) were witnessing some of the many beneficial effects that compelled them to lobby for such an agreement. The bilateral trade deal between Canada and United States, was the engine starter for much of the shared substantial economic growth that occurred between 1989 until 2002. Throughout this period of growth “Canadian exports to the United States rose by 221%” (Lessons From NAFTA). The sub sequential growth that was initially sparked by the FTA paved the way for NAFTA sympathizers and proponents as means to promote this unprecedented trilateral trade agreement.

Based upon the report the industrial movement changed the scope of capital and trade. I believe the industrial movement may be the primary component to why locally owned business may have become extinct. Given that most of the trade is non-agricultural for the exception of agricultural machinery the supply and demand of gas, electronics, and machinery phased out agriculture labor. According to Fergusson, “the United States and Canada trade substantial volumes of the same goods… This integration has been assisted by trade liberalization over the past 40 years, beginning with the Automotive Agreement of 1965” (Fergusson 6). Do you believe the Federal Trade Agreement (FTA) between the United States and Canada was a positive if it eliminated protection of small-scale manufacturing

economy, following its cycles and trends since NAFTA agreement signed in 1994 by United States, Mexico and Canada as established a strong economical and political cooperation between these countries.

Firstly, the North American Free Trade Agreement was beneficial to Canada because it strengthened its relationship with the United States. The historical relationship between the
