The state of one of the world’s largest trading relationships drives important decisions made every day by our clients on both sides of the Canada-US border. This year, we’re proud to work with geopolitical risk advisory firm Eurasia Group to host a summit discussing the changing dynamics of trade, food and energy security, and the environment in North America as the world order experiences its greatest shifts in decades.
The April 4th US-Canada Summit brings together American and Canadian business leaders, policymakers, academics, and current and former diplomats to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing our respective countries into the future.
With our Summit partners at the Eurasia Group, we’ll look at the changing world order amid geopolitical developments and weakening globalization, explore how our economies will be impacted and examine prospects for North American investment attraction.
Of course, no conversation would be complete without discussion around the transition to a net zero world and its opportunities and challenges, and this Summit will ask what we need to do as countries and as a region to promote the innovation and competition that will drive this change, and to ensure the supply of critical minerals needed for large scale decarbonization.
I look forward to a day of engaging discussion and learnings about the way forward for our two countries, with such incredible promise for the future, in a changing world. As President Kennedy once said about our unique relationship as he addressed the Canadian Parliament: “Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.”
