Is Canada Rewiring Its Global Alliances? ft. Mark Morris

Canada’s old playbook is breaking.

New trade routes, new defence bets, and a very different world are taking shape.

In this episode, we break down:

  • Canada trade diversification and what happens when dependence on the US becomes a strategic weakness
  • Trump tariffs, global trade realignment, and whether America is isolating itself economically
  • Mark Carney’s foreign policy approach and how Canada may be repositioning with new allies
  • NATO spending, Canadian defence investment, and why reliance on US military platforms now looks riskier
  • Oil prices, the Canadian dollar, and how energy markets could reshape Canada’s economic outlook
  • Europe, India, China, Brazil, and the emerging trade and defence relationships Canada may pursue next
  • Arctic security, Ukraine’s military innovation, and the future of defence procurement and drone warfare

  • Hosts: Mike Wixson
  • Guests: Mark Morris

This conversation looks at Canada’s place in a changing world through trade, defence, energy, and geopolitical strategy, with a focus on tariffs, NATO, the Canadian economy, and global alliances.
