Each day, 365 days a year, two-way trade between the
U.S. and Canada is $1.65 billion in goods and
services!
However, building a strategy for success in the Canada market requires dedication and patience.

Canada is a dynamic and sophisticated country - with a heroic history and rich cultural diversity.

Spotlight on Canadians Making a Difference
David Suzuki, Scientist, Environmentalist, Author
Quote: "The global economy hides hides the true ecological and social costs of the products we consume. To see our place on the planet, we have to shift from an anthropocentric view that we are at the center of everything to a biocentric view that we are part of and utterly dependant on a web of life."
