6. Canada trade's thoughts

2018-01-11

Canada should explore trades and conclude current trades as NAFTA is in doubt.

Canada has been exporting 75% of products to USA per year. However, I agree that "no deal is better than bad deal."
1. Trade with CETA requires time as it passed the first step. I guess, processing time is required.

Importing products from Western Europe would be high end products due to their high salaries.
Importing products from Eastern Europe would be lower end products due to their lower salaries.

It doesn't look like Canadians reopen many factory plants due to higher wages in Canada.
2. Canada should ink the first agreement in TPP deal with others. Of course, it should be a good deal.

3. How about exploring trades with Russia if Russia is not in TPP? Russian salaries are not as high as Canadians, but higher than Chinese.
I saw an article that a Russian milk business man bathed in milk before selling milk to residents. Putin ordered to close that shop. [I heard that the owner is wandering in Siberia.]

I like how Russian protect the interests of consumers. I would feel more confident to use Made in Russia products than Made in China products.
One day, we should open flights over North Pole to Russia. There should be 3 hubs in Canada to Russia:

- Alberta (Vancouver is so busy and perhaps Alaska is another hub for USA. They're close to each other.)
- Ontario (Toronto if they agreed to change many long flight routes via Russia. Toronto is very busy city. We don't want to add more traffic to it.)

- Mirabel airport of Montreal. Montreal is currently downgraded to small and extremely crowded for cars or traffic. Roads get smaller. Let's them expand from Laval to Mirabel and use HW 15 instead of HW 40 connecting Ontario and Quebec.
4. How about exploring trades with Latin America too?

Brazil has high living standard, thus Brazil should be the best candidate for trades?
Argentina is another large country is Latin America, but they had declared default twice. I am not sure about their status.

Mexico is currently part of NAFTA, so we shouldn't explore independent trades.
Probably Scotia bank has business in Latin America could help to get this "trade interests" moving ahead quickly.
