Canadian Entrepreneurs: Turning Trade Uncertainty into Opportunity with Culture at the Table
In a recent Toronto Star article, economist Jim Stanford highlighted a crucial insight about Canada’s economic resilience: while export markets matter, nearly 80% of what we produce is created by Canadians, for Canadians, and never crosses a border.
This revelation couldn’t come at a better time as trade tensions rise and tariff uncertainties loom. For Canadian entrepreneurs, this moment of global economic flux isn’t just a challenge—it’s an unprecedented opportunity to innovate, build resilience, and tap into our greatest resource: our domestic market.
Finding Opportunity in Economic Turbulence
Economic disruption has always been a fertile ground for innovation. When traditional paths are blocked, new routes emerge. The current trade environment is creating gaps in the market and revealing needs that Canadian entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned to fill.
As Stanford points out, the vast majority of our economic activity already happens within our borders. This domestic focus isn’t a limitation—it’s our strength and safety net during uncertain times.
