We can, and should, have a stronger, more innovative domestic economy, but we can't achieve that by ignoring our dependencies on the rest of the world.
Excellent reminder. I add that the rest of the world needs Canada. I have watched over the past 30 years as the relevance and global respect for Canada has declined. We once had so much to offer (and did offer). Now we are largely known for being nice and having great scenery. We must step up. If not now, then when?
Great piece; your comments and the selected quotes on the tariff disaster are especially spot-on.
Thanks Ashley!

100% There is a need for genuine leadership and real solutions to problems, not just rhetoric and bluster. Canada can and should help provide both.
