Canada's Trade War Response: Economic Nationalism a False Solution

Canada's trade war response should not involve economic nationalism, despite the current tensions with the US.

The country is already seeing a sort-of wartime economy in action, with governments mobilizing resources to counter Trump's threats. However, this doesn't mean that economic logic needs to be thrown out altogether.

Two recent reports demonstrate this concern: one from Export Development Canada and another from the Canadian Shield Institute, both of which promote techno-nationalist ideas.
