Where do we go from here? Canada’s past, present and next steps with our neighbours to the south.

Donald Trump’s return to the White House has intensified the challenges Ottawa faces in managing Canada’s most important international relationship. From navigating the risk of significant new tariffs to responding to heightened uncertainty at the border under America’s revised deportation policies, Canada must balance these pressures while still finding ways to collaborate on shared security interests. The United States continues to shape, and often dominate, Canada’s political agenda. This lecture will examine how Canada’s relationship with the United States has evolved, how it functions today, and how it can and should work in the years ahead.
