Canada, U.S., and the Big Questions Ahead

January 9, 2025

Welcome to the latest episode of Make Money Count! What’s happening in North America? With the resignation of Justin Trudeau, and Donald Trump’s ramping up of rhetoric in the U.S., there is a lot to unpack. Join Marcus & Justin as they explore these pressing issues facing our country.

Trudeau’s Exit: A Turning Point for Canada?

Trudeau has announced his resignation! But how long will it be until he is replaced, and what will it mean for Canada’s path forward? His departure raises critical questions about the future of Canadian governance—will the next leadership continue his policies, or is a new direction on the horizon? His exit could be a turning point that shifts the country’s trajectory, particularly in terms of economic policies and international relations.

Canada’s Economic Crossroads

Canada is facing significant economic challenges as it navigates through inflation, fluctuating housing markets, and increasing living costs. These issues have raised concerns about the country’s economic future, with many debating the best approach to ensure stability and growth. With changes in leadership on the horizon, will Canada prioritize progressive policies focused on inclusivity and growth, or shift towards more conservative strategies to tackle rising debt and other financial concerns? The decisions made by the next Canadian government will play a crucial role in shaping the country’s economy in a fast-changing global environment.

U.S. and Canada: Friends or Foes?

The relationship between Canada and the U.S. is being closely examined again. While the two countries have always worked well together in the past, there have been some tensions recently over trade deals, border policies, and other political matters. As the world’s economy and politics change, it’s unclear what the future holds for their relationship. Are they still close allies, or are differences in politics and economics causing a rift? Canada’s next government will need to find a way to manage this complicated relationship, focusing on both the needs of the country and maintaining good ties with the U.S.


America’s Big Move: Eyes on Greenland

Meanwhile, the U.S. has set its sights on Greenland, marking a potential shift in its geopolitical strategy. The Arctic region is becoming increasingly important due to the effects of climate change, which is opening up new trade routes and access to untapped resources. As the U.S. pivots its focus towards Greenland, Canada will need to carefully assess the implications of this shift. Will Canada maintain a collaborative relationship with the U.S. on Arctic affairs, or will the growing attention on Greenland lead to new tensions between the two North American neighbors? The geopolitical stakes in the region have never been higher, and Canada’s response could define its future role on the global stage.
