By Trevor Tombe, October 16, 2025 Canada’s investments in the United States aren’t a “trillion-dollar gift.” They’re the natural result of deep, Canada’s U.S. investments aren’t a gift. They’re a warning sign.

Maybe Canadians need to start rethinking our investment strategy and look to our own country and Europe to invest this money. The returns might be lower at first, but as the investments start to grow the economies, the returns will also grow. It is a long-term strategy, not a get-rich-quick strategy, but it is the best strategy for our children and grandchildren. Investing in America at this point is risky at best. Won’t do a thing for Canada.
