We sat down last month with Dr. Andrea Goeglein to discuss the Nevada/Canada relationship, the ties that will always bind us together, and the importance of maintaining communications at a sub-federal level when the bilateral relationship faces tension.

To kick things off, we met with Richard Perkins and Sasha Sutcliffe-Stephenson, Co-Founders of the Business Council of Canada and Nevada (@CanadaNevada).
We explored how our two jurisdictions are staying competitive despite shifting economic landscapes, and provided an update on the actions our government is taking through the launch of the ‘Destination Niagara Strategy’ to position Niagara as a world-renowned tourism destination that supports local businesses and creates good-paying jobs.
The effects of Canadian tourism and visitation on Nevada’s economy cannot be overstated. Canadians currently own approx 3/4 of all foreign owned homes in Nevada.

“Because of the tariffs imposed by the U.S., Americans will pay more for groceries, gas, and cars, and potentially lose thousands of jobs.” - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

Nevada is already feeling the hit amid Canadian backlash over the US administration’s ill-advised tariff threats (we are told this particular conference, scheduled for April 2025, was worth approximately $8 million to the local economy)

Roughly 60% of 🇺🇸 crude oil imports come from 🇨🇦, accounting for 1/4 of the daily intake of U.S. refineries at 4 million barrels per day. That’s enough to fill nearly 8,000 rail cars stretching 76 miles—the distance from New York City to Philadelphia! #FriendsPartnersAllies
Canada is an important partner to U.S. food security. Our $73 billion agricultural bilateral trading partnership is strengthened by the #USMCA. Canada is the #1 agricultural export market for 26 U.S. states – let’s keep a good thing growing! 🇨🇦🌱🇺🇸 #FriendsPartnersAllies
This afternoon, we had an opportunity to meet with @CanadaNevada and received an update on the ongoing trade & investment opportunities between our two jurisdictions.
With shared priorities in advanced manufacturing and critical minerals, it was a productive discussion on the importance of maintaining economic relations.
The Province of Ontario and the U.S. share one of the most important and enduring partnerships in the world, built on strong economic ties, integrated supply chains, national security interests, and shared values.
For the next two weeks, be sure to follow along as we share a series of trade facts and stats about our two jurisdictions.
Did you know Ontario is the U.S.’s third largest trading partner, second only to Mexico (#1) and China (#2)?
.@FireweedMetals is the latest example of strategic 🇨🇦🇺🇸 co-investment to build North American #CriticalMineral supply chains to bolster diversity in the market and safeguard national security and economic security interests.
