Venue: CHATEAU LAURIER - CANADIAN ROOM
The trade relationship between Canada and the U.S. is at a pivotal moment. With the U.S. administration's recent threats of tariffs on Canada, the business community and Canadians are facing uncertainty that could reshape cross-border trade. The Canadian Club of Ottawa invites you to Wake Up Call, an urgent and in-depth conversation about the implications of these new tensions between our two nations.
As these tensions continue to unfold, it’s also an opportunity for Canada to engage in much-needed introspection. Our historic reliance on the U.S. for defense, trade, and cultural influence has long been a strength—but it may also be a vulnerability. How can we leverage this relationship while mitigating the risks? What lessons can Canada learn from this current strain, and what strategic shifts are necessary to succeed in a rapidly changing economic order?
Join us for an insightful discussion on how Canada can strengthen its position on the global stage, navigate trade uncertainties, and build a more resilient future in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape.
