11. SOLUTIONS
• Canada needs to stop pushing its social agenda as Asian Countries are not
interested with Trudeau’s social agenda
• Asian economies needs raw materials, like potash or oil or nickel or lithium
or copper or aluminum. Canada lacks the capacity to export
• India and China are the biggest economy. Canada has less than cordial
relations with both China and India.
• Canada needs to sign appropriate FIPA deals with countries.
• Trans Pacific Trading pact needs to be approved by parliament.
