Student worksheet 2

A. Canada's connections with its trading partners, as shown in Summary tables.

In addition to trade, the United States and our other trading partners affect Canada in many other ways, such as through immigration, culture, technology and tourism. We can see the size and trend of many of these interactions reflected in some of the Summary tables.

  1. Find two summary tables, other than those listed below, showing some of these connections and include them in the table below. To find connections other than trade with the United States and other countries, look at the Summary tables.
  2. To make your search easier, use the search function on the left side navigation bar under "Summary tables." For example, type "United States" or "Foreign" in the search box.
  3. Click Go
    This displays Summary tables that deal with the United States.
  4. Describe in one to two paragraphs the degree of the interaction we have with the United States or another country, as outlined in one of these tables.
