In August 1971, America had introduced its New Economic Program (NEP), also referred to as the Nixon Shock. This new economic plan drove an end to the “special relationship” that existed between Canada and the United States since WWII, as the new program called for import surcharges as well as tax credits on American-produced machinery. This program had a great affect Canada’s trade and relationship with the U.S. and as a result, Trudeau and his government were given three options in response. The first was to stick with the status quo, the second was to form closer ties, and the third choice was to rely less on the U.S.A while strengthening Canada’s economy. Canada adopts the Third Option policy, and sets out to diversify international trade and build economic nationalism.

GDP composite of china 2009 Physical capital accounted for almost 50% of total growth and labour for only a little over 10% over recent. Total factor productivity contributed the remaining growth, partly driven by the reallocation of labour from the rural sector to manufacturing. China’s savings are high but it is not the household saving, it is unchanged since 1990's, therefore the consumption is 35%. The corporate savings have increased due to the firm tendency to retain earnings. According to World scope data, over half of listed Chinese industrial firms did not pay a dividend over the past decade.
It was only until 1971 that Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau decided to modify the bicultural assimilation model, previously used by the Royal Commission, to better suit the growing variety of cultures in Canada. This subsequently led to the establishment of multiculturalism as official government policy, and 17 years later to the institutionalisation of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act. The enactment of this policy would forever change the face of Canada’s identity and culture. This paper will also touch upon the implications of multiculturalism on the economy and how it allowed Canada to attract skilled and intelligent people from all over the world, literally making it a “global talent magnet”. Another topic that will be discussed is how our government’s multiculturalism policy has revolutionized the idea of human rights thus ameliorating the quality of life in Canada.

It may appear that Canada became more independent after World War I, because Canadians did gain national identity thus giving Britain less control of Canada. But as you further your knowledge about Canada’s independence, it is debatable if Canada actually became more independent or not. It is Canada’s goal to not be acknowledged as another British colony, but simply as “Canada”. Also, although Canada somewhat succeeded in being politically independent, the United States gained economic ties with Canada allowing the U.S. to take control of Canada’s economic situation. In addition, the States had socially influenced Canada greatly, in terms of culture.
