The Walrus is hosting a McGill Max Bell Lecture on November 12 featuring Ricardo Hausmann and Eric Protzer, who argue Canada should respond to strained U.S. relations by expanding into industries like aerospace and life sciences rather than retreating from global trade. The event is free, online, and moderated by Walrus editor-in-chief Carmine Starnino.

The framing casts the rupture with the U.S. as both a crisis and an opportunity for Canada to build a more resilient, globally engaged economy, though the specifics remain confined to a one-hour panel discussion rather than any policy on the table.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
