         <description><![CDATA[<p>This video discusses Canada's long struggles its had when it comes to international trade with the United States. It describes how Canada has had to put new tariffs on American made items in the past few years, one of them being Heinz ketchup that was specifically tariffed. The thing that had people scratching their heads was that mustard wasn't a recipient of the new wave of tariffs on American goods. Due to Canada and the United States constantly going back on forth with new tariffs, Mexico has seen an increase in trade deals with both Canada and the United States.</p><p><br></p><p>I chose this video due to it giving good insight on trade relations between Canada and the United States during the Trump presidency. The most useful information in the video was that during this time their was no active NAFTA agreement which was one of biggest contributing factors for this "tariff" war between the United States and Canada.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This video discusses how trade affects all Canadians in their day to day lives. This video also discusses terms associated with international trade that you may not be familiar with. This video discusses who, how, and when trade affects every Canadian. They also discuss why Canada uses trade agreements and the benefits they have on local Canadian consumers and businesses. The video also discusses the different trade agreements Canada already has in place and what you can do as a small business to be able to sell on the international market.</p><p><br/></p><p>I chose this video due to it being an informative and well edited video created by the Canadian government itself for Canadians to be able to understand how international trade works and how it affects them and how they benefit. The video goes into depth at the end when it discusses all the trade agreements Canada has with countries all around the world which is important for the average Canadian to know and understand.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This video goes into depth on how international trade works from a Canadian perspective. This video discusses the origins on international trade and all the way up to modern trade as we know it today. International trade was not a normal concept until the early 1900’s and since then we have seen a massive increase in reliance on a global economy as the percentage of international trade in the global economy was about 17% in the early 1900’s and how within one hundred years that has increase to around 60%. This can be contributed to the rise of technology. This video also discusses the importance for countries to diversify their export’s as becoming reliant on one product/resource can lead to a country becoming one dimensional.</p><p><br></p><p>I chose this video do to covering in depth the history and many distinct aspects of international trade by showing real world examples. Particularly useful information in this video would be the importance of not rely on one export to sustain a countries economy.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This video describes Canada’s modern day international trade opportunities and the potential for future trade around the world. This video discusses the issues of trade between the United States and Canada’s biggest cities and economies with Asia, specifically China. This video discusses the origin of the Panama Canal and its extreme importance to international trade not only for the United States but also for the entire world. One of the issues with the Panama Canal is that the United States have complete control over it and can dictate which ships can or cannot pass through it. The video discusses an alternative route proposal connecting the western world and Asia, which would be through Canada’s artic and how it would greatly impact Canada’s economy for the better.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I chose this video due to it discussing the potential for global economic growth from Canada utilizing international trade. The most important and useful information in this video is the proposed plan to open the northwest passageway for trade, but due to it only being a proposal there is obvious things needed to be addressed. One of which is the lack on infrastructure in Canada’s artic which would be vital to trade ships and thus holding the proposal back in advancing.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This website is the official Bank of Canada. They posted a report back in 2017 about how international trade is changing around the world and how Canada’s trade is changing with it. The report goes on to say how exports and imports represent 65% of our output which is one of the highest ratios among the G7 countries. In Saskatchewan, the province adapted it changing trade dynamics, particularly the emergence of global value chains and the impact of lowering trade barriers. The report also goes on to discus the relationship between trade and innovation and how technology is constantly changing how trade is done as it always has since the beginning of international trade.</p><p><br>I chose this article as it discusses how Canada’s trade policy is forced to change with the ever-evolving world of international trade. The most valuable information in this article is about how Saskatchewan adjusted its trade dynamics in an attempt to lower trade barriers and allow for more easy access to the international market.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is an article done by the national post on how Canada needs to make a plan to improve its trade infrastructure as soon as possible. This article discusses the need for drastic improvements to Canada’s trade infrastructure which includes railways, airports, marine ports, bridges, and roads. This is due to the increase in extreme weather, wildfires, floods, and labour strikes which has previously brough trade to a halt disrupting supply chains all across Canada. There is proof of this on the world stage as within the past ten years the World Economic Forum’s confidence in our transport infrastructure has dropped from being in the top tens to thirty seconded.</p><p><br/></p><p>I chose this article due to it mentioning the infrastructure point of view when it comes to trade internationally, as without solid infrastructure to support large trade, trade will eventually collapse and be left in a stand still until improvements are made. The most important information in this article is that local Canadian organizations have already recognized this issue and have put plans forth to rectify it. The only problem is they have yet to secure the support form the federal government to develop and overarching strategy that would allow a plan that spans all Canadian jurisdictions.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is Toronto Pearson airport in Mississauga Ontario. It is situated just outside of Toronto and is Canada’s biggest commercial airport. It is heavily significant as it connects the world to Canada’s biggest and busiest city.</p><p>I chose this picture to showcase another aspect of Canadian trade infrastructure. Most goods when imported are shipped into Toronto then shipped locally using transport trucks.</p>]]></description>
