The last three and a half years have been a turbulent period for global markets. Suppliers struggled with supply-chain security, producers battled against arbitrary export barriers, and consumers continue to face ballooning inflation. These stressors have created a once-in-a-lifetime cost-of-living crisis and Canadians are struggling to overcome it. To add fuel to the fire two major global security issues: the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine and a more confrontational China in the Southeast Pacific. To say things, appear bleak would be an apt description. However, I believe such challenges present Canadians with a unique opportunity to reaffirm our values and ensure economic security for years to come. To do this, I propose Canada looks towards its own backyard by reevaluating our position within the region. The Western Hemisphere provides us the opportunity to streamline our supply-chains, reshore well-paying jobs, and reduce inflationary measures on Canadians. All will ensure we are competitive in the global economy while not losing sight of our values.
