Ottawa Conference aims to knit Empire economies together
In July 1982 Ottawa hosts an Imperial conference drawing delegates from Britain and dominions to forge an economic union. Leaders seek empire tariff preferences, currency stability, and expanded trade within the empire while Canada presses for wheat and manufactured goods access and Britain for markets in textiles and steel. The gathering promises a historic shift in global trade though outcomes remain uncertain.
