Canada is backed into a corner, being forced to react to Donald Trump’s tariffs. Every ‘expert’ is running around talking about the best way to respond to this current situation, with most talking about “fighting” Trump. But how did things get so bad that our economy is so dependent on the USA? American workers produce $22,100 U.S. more goods annually per worker than Canadians - and this is thanks to the lack of investment - and a lack of political will to have Canada build an economy not so dependent on the U.S. John Turley Ewart is a contributing columnist with The Globe and Mail, and a Banking Consultant - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.
