WASHINGTON — While Canada cannot escape the gravitational pull of an increasingly unstable United States, a new report is charting a path forward to ensure Canadian interests become more important to our closest neighbour.
"The world does need more of Canada. The United States does. Our other allies do," said the report by Public Policy Forum, a non-profit group that brings together experts to advise on significant policy issues.The report, which will be released publicly Wednesday, suggests Canada should deepen co-operation with America in key sectors now.
Others have warned the relationship between the two countries shifted from being strategic to transactional as Canada became less critical compared with other places in the world. "We need to put ourselves on the agenda early, regardless of who wins the presidency and who controls Congress," the report noted.
The report said increasing Arctic investment would demonstrate to Washington that Canada isn't shirking responsibilities and would bring the country closer to its NATO target of spending two per cent of gross domestic product on defence.
