The Canadian government frets about U.S. President Joe Biden’s strictures to “Buy American.” It should counter instead with own plan to “Buy Canadian.”For the last two days, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and key members of his cabinet have been busy lobbying U.S. officials in an effort to derail proposed Buy American schemes. Does the U.S. insist on Buy American policies? Then Canada should counter with a Buy Canadian scheme. Canadian officials like to say that continental free trade serves U.S. as well as Canadian interests. For domestic political reasons, the U.S. will always have some kind of Buy America policy in play.
