Canada’s Trade With Britain I Languishing
The Ottawa Journal analyzes Canada’s Empire trade, noting Britain’s share declines while foreign markets rise. From April to August 1926 Canada sold abroad about 3.6 million more goods than last year, with Britain down 6.06 million in imports if measured year over year. Germany and France buy more, and the United States and Europe/Asia absorb rising shares. Canada’s trade becomes global, not self contained within the Empire.
