Ed Fast, the federal trade minister, will be spending his Thanksgiving weekend making an effort to strengthen Canada’s relationship with China. The past Liberal governments made successful agreements with china, but Harper disrupted that relationship by meeting the Dalai Lama. Fast is hoping to continue with his plans of fortifying relationship with China later this fall. China, the emerging economic superpower, is the world’s second largest economy and is one of the major clients of Canadian resources.

The relationship between Canada and China is bound to grow in a positive direction – even if they do not want to. Canada offers large quantities of many different natural resources. Every second that ticks, resources are being used up. China should be very thankful for Canada’s willingness to trade and take advantage of this offer.
