Answer:
Canada should develop new economic links with China, India, Mexico and Brazil particularly in areas not already developed by Americans.
Canada should be concentrating on India due to American support of Pakistan which has created a peculiar attitude towards India in some important US circles.
Canada should also build on the important Chinese community links.
Brazil must become a partner not a competitor. This requires careful analysis not indiscriminate support of Bombardier!
