Roundtable
Canada and NATO, NATO and Canada
As this week is the big NATO summit in Chicago, we ought to consider Canada’s role in the alliance in two ways: What does Canada get out of NATO, and what does NATO get out of Canada? Given that the primary reason for Canada to purchase the F-35 is its involvement in NATO – and the desire to maximize interoperability – it makes sense to wonder why Canada even bothers, now that the expected savings of a joint purchase have dissipated. This is not the only Canadian investment in NATO: Canada’s roles in Afghanistan and Libya were far more visible ...More

The Canadian-Mexican Agenda
It wasn’t always the case, but the interests of Canada and Mexico are now indisputably intertwined. In 2010, Canadian trade with Mexico reached $27 billion, exceeding trade with the U.K. for the first time and making Mexico our third-largest trading partner in the world next to the U.S. and China.
