Unit Two Big Question: Foundational Objective 1 Identify the risks of being an export nation; does this trend still exist in Canada today?

There are many risks with being an export nation, such as: - running out of resources, - demand for your resources being low, - some places may refuse to buy your goods (if you're in war with them, or you've upset them in a way, etc), - being focused on export means you aren't focused on manufcaturing; you then rely on other countries or nations to manufacture the goods and resources you have.

This trend does still exist - even though we have increased some manufacturing, we are still mainly an export country. We are still hit with these risks and consequences of them often. We send our bulk resources to China to manufacture them into goods and products.
