The Future Geopolitical Role of Canada

The Future Geopolitical Role of Canada

Canada is currently sitting in an economic catastrophe, our

unemployment is high, production low, and our deficit is increasing at a

rapid pace. We are one of the few first world countries, and we need to

strengthen our economy. Once we fortify our economy, our geopolitical role

will increase. Geopolitics is defined as the study of a two-way

relationship between political beliefs and actions on one side and any of

the usual concerns of geography on the other. As we move into the future,

our geopolitical role may be broken down into many groups. As we can

tackle the burden alone, we must join forces, and increase our geopolitical

role.

As we administer towards the future, the concept of acting locally has

slowly dissipated, and acting globally has emerged distinctly. "One word

constantly encountered in any decision about the 1990s is 'global'".

(Toronto Star, 09/11/89) We must all work together by shattering the trade

boundaries, and acting as one. Currently, we are seeing concrete steps

forward, as Mexico, United States and Canada are almost finished the

signing of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). With this trade

agreement, all three countries (Mexico, United States, and Canada) will

virtually become one of the best trading partners in the world. With the

vast differences that exist in the demographics, all three countries will

find that trading with each other will bring prominent economic reform.

Canadian and American capital, technology, and management expertise, will

create many jobs for everyone, hence raising the standard of living. The

Canadians speciality in financial services, software, and infrastructure

will have wondrous impact on Mexico. With the Americans and Canadians

help in vitalizing Mexico, l strongly believe we will all become one single

country in the future. Since the United States is the strongest of all

three, the new country will be named the United States of North America.

Becasue the United States is currently the biggest and only superpower of

the world, the addition of Canada (vast resources and open land), and

Mexico (substantial labour power), the United States of North America will

be one of the largest dominating forces in the world. However, this will

not be used against the other countries unjustly, but harmoniously.

Moreover, we will not be the only countries of present day to join together,

as many countries around the globe will do the same. This will help us

erupt out of our boundaries and help all nations of the world.
