@author_matthewflagler: Canada wants to rebuild manufacturing, strengthen domestic supply chains and become less economically dependent on the United States. Sounds great. But who pays for it? For decades, Canada benefited from global supply chains designed largely around efficiency and cost. Then COVID, supply-chain disruptions and more recent trade tensions demonstrated the other side of that bargain: the cheapest place to manufacture something isn’t necessarily the safest place to depend on when things go sideways. So maybe Canada doesn’t need to make everything here. Maybe the better question is: What can Canada not afford to be unable to make? In this episode of Beyond the US: Building an Independent Canada, we’re looking at Canadian manufacturing, supply-chain resilience, billions in government support for strategic industries, the communities that depend on manufacturing jobs—and the uncomfortable reality that greater economic independence probably won’t come free. Because “MAKE IT IN CANADA!” makes a great slogan. Actually rebuilding the capacity to do it? Welllll…that’s a little more complicated. 😂 #canada #economy #manufacturing #buycanadian #canadaustrade
