America vs. Europe: Which is Canada's future partner?

The host says roughly 70% of Canadian exports still go to the United States, leaving Canada vulnerable because it lacks enough infrastructure to sell its resources elsewhere.

The host describes Canada as pursuing the third option—diversifying trade, mainly toward Europe—and says the current strategy differs from the 1970s by seeking investment and infrastructure before relying on trade agreements.

The host says Canada proposed associate membership in the EU, a new arrangement intended to give Canadian companies deeper access to European buyers without full EU membership.

The host says the Canadian government’s productivity mega deduction lets companies deduct major investment costs more quickly and applies to sectors such as mining, refineries, pipelines, railways, and manufacturing equipment.
