    The global connections that Canada has with other countries greatly impact the country as a whole. First of all, Canada imports many different products from other countries. These include a wide variety of tropical fruits, machinery, and many different kinds of minerals. This allows Canada to make domestic income in its economy while also supporting the exporter at the same time; strengthening their relationship. Also, in free trade situations, both Canada and the other country benefit from mutual gains of importing and exporting (Canada receiving products and the other country receiving money). Likewise, Canada exports a wide variety of commodities to different countries. The products that Canada exports include oil, lumber products, and a…

    In analysing Canada’s economy on the global scale it is evident that they are one of the most economically advanced countries in the world having the eighth largest economy.

    To fully understand why Canada is one the wealthiest nations in the world, we need to pay particular attention to Canada’s economic history. The economic history of our country has been marked by many important events that have paved the way for a successful economic future. A brief economic history of Canada would pay particular attention to important events such as the economic boom of the 1920s, the dark times of the 1930s; the Second World War during the 1940s and to also not forget the important trade agreements such as the auto pact and the NAFTA. Despite the above mentioned important events, Canadian economy has also been greatly influenced by its own economic sectors. Our economy has undergone through major changes during the past 3 decades. One of the factors that had an enormous impact on the economy of Canada has been that of the automotive industry. The automotive industry was born in the early years of the 20th century and it has since then, expanded very quickly. (White, 2007, p.3) The expansion has proved to be economically profitable and also unsuccessful at times. This essay will examine the economical and political impacts of the auto industry in Canada during the past years, by paying special attention to the economic regional imbalance, the auto pact, the North American Free Trade Agreement and also the shift in the Canadian auto market, from American automakers to the Japanese automakers during the past three decades. The automotive industry expanded Canada’s economy by increasing the employment levels, the improvement of roads and contributed to an increase in revenues due to licences and gasoline fees. It also strengthened the economical relationship with our neighbours to the south and has also improved the economy of the southern provinces as it is heavily concentrated in the province of Ontario with major assembly plants in Windsor and Oshawa.…

    Canada strives to have a strong economy: to be productive and provide gainful employment for the citizens. In order to do this Canada has to adapt and change. In the past Canada was largely industrial, and production driven. Nowadays, Canada’s economy depends on a strong service sector and being active in a global market to stay strong; especially when economic conditions within Canada are tough. The Canadian government has been implementing a variety of policies to help encourage globalization in order to keep the economy healthy, and to be part of the global market. By freeing trade, improving international intellectual property rights, boosting an inflow of foreign investments and reducing…

    Foreign Business are extremely beneficial to the Canadian economy. Granted, they open up foreign markets and provide vast investment opportunities, the biggest benefit however, is the goods and services in which they make accessible. I deemed this factor as the most beneficial due to the fact that the Canadian market is arguably not as cheap or as expansive as some of the other prominent global markets which makes foreign goods quite valuable to our country. This is quite commonly seen, take China for example, they make up about 4.10% of our global exports and 7.10% of our imports. With that in mind, Canadian businesses have the opportunity to capitalize on the cheaper manufactured goods from China by selling their goods at a higher price in relation to their actual cost. On a small scale example, if a Canadian business were to buy 100 plates from China, costing a dollar a plate, and were to sell those plates for one dollar and fifty cents, that…
