America Where Art Thou? A discussion with US Senator Paul Strauss
Making sense of the impact of current US politics on US-Canadian relations and international relations
With the arrest of Chinese telecoms executive Meng Wanzhou, Canada is caught between two superpowers, China and the United States. Under President Donald Trump, Canada’s relationship with the US has become more fragile, with the president attacking Canada on trade. The U.S. has also retreated from important international agreements and bodies. Can we still count on the US to defend us ? The UK, meanwhile, is too entangled in the looming exit from the European Union to focus on its relationship with Canada.
On the international stage, Canada is one of the few powers speaking out about human rights and the international rule of law. In August, the Saudi government expelled Canada’s ambassador to the Kingdom and withdrew its own ambassador over Minister Chrystia Freeland’s comment about human rights in Saudi Arabia. Few governments came to Canada's defense.
As solidarity is weakening, is Canada alone in the world? Who are Canada’s allies now and what are its options? Could this moment be used as an opportunity or should Canada get used to being alone ?
Robert Greenhill, Executive Chairman of the Global Canada Initiative, and
Ben Rowswell, president of the CIC and former Canadian diplomat, will discuss these important questions during what promises to be a riveting talk about Canadian diplomacy and foreign policy
