Gary Mar, President and CEO of the Canada West Foundation, discusses Canada's new trade deal with China. He examines whether the agreement balances economic opportunity with national security concerns, and its significance for Western Canada's agriculture and energy sectors. He addresses criticisms of the trade deal in light of Taiwan and potential U.S. retaliation, and argues the deal represents progress while cautioning against over-reliance on any single marketplace.
