Selling to our Strengths: Unlocking Canada’s Trade Corridors
Mon Jan 26 2026
Canada has set bold economic ambitions: attracting $1 trillion in new investment over five years and doubling non-U.S. exports within the next decade. Achieving these goals will depend on how effectively we can move the goods the world wants—from our farms, forests, factories, and mines—to global customers.
Join Canadian Club Toronto on January 26, and hear directly from leaders at some of the country’s most influential companies and organizations on how Canada can strengthen its trade corridors and position itself for long-term growth. This panel will examine the state of our transportation networks, the bottlenecks holding back Canadian competitiveness, and the policy and investment decisions that will shape our economic future.
Moderated by Goldy Hyder, President and CEO of the Business Council of Canada, the discussion will feature insights from:
Max Koeune – President and CEO, McCain Foods Ltd.
Tracy Robinson – President and CEO, CN
Sean Strickland – Executive Director, Canada’s Building Trades Unions
Together, these leaders will examine how government, industry, and labour can better align to strengthen supply chains, open new markets, and ensure Canada fully leverages its energy, resource, and agrifood strengths on the global stage.
