Premiers must engage in bilateral business: executive Relations: Synching the way Canada and U.S. do business would make trade and supply chains more efficient, Canadian American Business Council executive director says

Feb 12, 2010 - Never forget who your friends are In case Americans forgot Canadians are important friends, they're about to be reminded, over and over.

The spot gently reminds Americans they are reliant on us for energy and exports. The council says the ad targets bigwigs “inside the Beltway,” some of whom have been critical of oil sands development. We're sure once they see this ad – and Joannie Rochette's figure skating prowess – it will all be water under the bridge.

B.C. and Washington State officials discuss need for improvements at Canada-U.S. border crossing – Global BC News Hour – 6:00 PM
Chris Gailus: The economic crunch rolling across North America has lit a new fire under plans to streamline things at the Canada-U.S. border. Officials on both sides are working to reduce that excessive wait time that costs both economies millions of dollars. As Jane Carrigan reports, they're hoping the upcoming changing of the guard in Washington, D.C. will help speed it along.
Reporter: Crossing the Canada-U.S. border in British Columbia can be a huge headache. And while there have been some improvements in an effort to get cars and trucks moving, there is still a long way to go.
Trucker: As long as you get here before 12:00. It’s just starting now but if you can get here before noon, everything is good.
Reporter to trucker: You think they can make some improvements?
Trucker: Yeah. There's always room for improvements.
Reporter: Improving those cross border travel times is the main goal for this meeting in Vancouver. Business groups and government on both sides of the border are trying to work together to streamline trade and travel.
Matt Morrison, Pacific Northwest Economic Region: The border is a critical element. We need to think outside the box. How can we do it better, smarter? We need a safe and secure border. But it must allow legitimate trade and travel.
Reporter: And in a faltering economy, trade is the important factor for both sides. Some $577 billion worth of cross border trade takes place between Canada and the U.S. each year.
John van Dongen: As we look at a tougher economy, we think it's very, very important that that border is operating as effectively as possible.
Reporter: Streamlining the border process means new enhanced drivers’ licenses for both British Columbians and Washingtonians.
Morrison: There are ways that processing at the border can be brought away from the border, like, you know…pre-screening for business visa travel and we’ve identified about 23 specific things that are, we think, must-fix before 2010.
Reporter: One thing that won’t be finished by 2010 is construction on the U.S. side leading up to the Peace Arch crossing. Yet both Americans and Canadians will be heading to Washington in February to try to convince the new administration about what needs to be done.
Scotty Greenwood, Canadian-American Business Council: And what we do at the council is in Washington, help policy makers understand just how important the relationship with Canada is, so it’s not a sell job but it is an education job.
Reporter: And it will mean a funding commitment from both Ottawa and Washington, in an effort to fast track people and vehicles.
Stephen Harper's government has made earning coin in Washington a key part of its foreign policy. But today, Ottawa will make its own transition from George W. Bush's security agenda to Barack Obama's economic agenda.
The changing times mean Canada must focus on finding shelter from a wave of protectionism expected in Congress, persuading Washington's new power brokers that U.S. and Canadian jobs are linked, and possibly, selling Canada as a path to reducing U.S. dependency on Middle East and Venezuelan oil, analysts say.
With opinion polls predicting that Mr. Obama, the Illinois Democratic Senator, would easily triumph over Arizona Republican John McCain, capitals around the world have been preparing for an Obama administration.
For Canada and Mr. Harper's government, it opens an opportunity similar to pressing a reset button on Canada-U.S. relations. But it also means vying for the attention of a new president facing a daunting mix of international and economic problems.
"There isn't much of a track record of interest on the part of Obama," said Allan Gotlieb, Canada's ambassador to Washington from 1981 to 1989. "The challenge will be to engage him in the Canada-U.S. file."
Mr. Obama is from a northern state, Illinois, that trades heavily with Canada, but unlike Mr. McCain, did not visit Canada to burnish his foreign-policy credentials, he noted.
Some of the issues that earned credit with Mr. Bush's administration, such as increased military spending, and Canada's role as a staunch NATO ally in Afghanistan, will still be appreciated in Washington, as Mr. Obama has pledged to make that mission a priority.
But a bigger Canadian concern will be a Democratic president backed by a heavily Democratic Congress riding a wave of protectionism fuelled by economic recession. The question is how Canada manages it, many analysts say.
"Will there be protectionist tendencies coming out of the 111th Congress? Yes. Will Barack Obama be more likely to stand in the way of those than George Bush would? Probably not. But that does not mean Canada should panic about its relationship with us," said Maryscott (Scotty) Greenwood, who was chief of staff at the U.S. embassy in Ottawa during the Bill Clinton administration and is now executive director of the Canadian American Business Council.
Despite Mr. Obama's comment during the Democratic primaries that he would force renegotiation of the North American free-trade agreement, he is surrounded by economic advisers friendly to North American trade, and many analysts believe he is not likely to threaten the core of the deal.
Congress is always more protectionist than the administration, because it reacts more to the pressures of local industries, so Canada must find broad strategies to argue that U.S. jobs depend on Canadian trade, said Colin Robertson, a former senior Canadian diplomat now heading a Carleton University project to create a blueprint for relations with the new administration.
Mr. Robertson has called for a "Team Canada Inc." approach - enlisting business and unions to argue that Canadian and U.S. auto plants, for example, work together to make cars, so that strengthening the North American supply chain, rather than weakening it, will keep Americans employed.
Mr. Gotlieb noted that a good relationship between leaders, can bring U.S. attention to Canadian concerns, and said Canadian officials should press for an early Harper-Obama meeting.
Few see obvious grounds for a close relationship; the two seem different in background, temperament and political leaning. They have spoken once, when Mr. Harper called to congratulate Mr. Obama on winning the Democratic nomination.
And a Canadian leak that weakened the credibility of Mr. Obama's position on NAFTA in rust-belt states created a political headache, although Ms. Greenwood bets it is forgotten. She said that Canada already has a card it can play to make its interests relevant to Mr. Obama, by selling itself as the solution to a U.S. "obsession" with energy security.
"Whether it's 'drill, baby, drill,' or 'reduce our dependence on foreign oil,' it's in every single political speech of everybody who's on the ballot right now," she said. A few weeks ago, Mr. Obama switched from criticizing dependence on "foreign" oil to decrying dependence on Middle East oil.
Ms. Greenwood said that wasn't insignificant, and Mr. Harper should seek to open common initiatives that tie efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions to energy security, so Canada's oil sands are viewed as a potential political help to Mr. Obama.
It's past time for a new continental point of view...
October 11, 2008 Barbara Yaffe Vancouver Sun Saturday
Canadians, Americans and Mexicans are so focused on their borders that they're neglecting the giant bit of real estate on which their livelihoods depend. American political scientist Stephen Blank, in Vancouver recently to speak about North American integration, says those opposed are too late. It's a reality and it's time people gave the continent a hug. A large group of business and political elites from both sides of the border -- organized by the Canadian American Business Council -- will convene next month in Vancouver do some hugging and remind the public how important continental commerce has become to the countries involved. Blank wishes there were more such constituencies promoting North American linkages. "Where is the opposition to Lou Dobbs?" asks the professor, in reference to the CNN host who regularly rails against continental free trade and promotes U.S. nationalism. In Canada, the Council of Canadians and the New Democrats have taken a lead role in fighting integration.
All the fear-mongering makes it difficult for politicians to lead a charge in strengthening North American competitiveness.
A pity, says Blank. Because on everything from energy security to environmental and economic issues, the three nations at this point are more than best buddies.
"The political economy of North America is no longer composed of three autonomous national economies ....
"The U.S., Canadian and Mexican firms have created cross-border supply chains."
Production clusters and distribution hubs now dot the continent, and their health depends on improved transport connections and quicker border processes. "This is about jobs."
It also makes sense for the three to jointly develop environmentally friendly freight transport systems. Plans for the next generation of railways and trucks need to be integrated.
It's surely the continent rather than individual countries that need to address prevailing climate change challenges.
Blank notes that a continental Commission of Environmental Cooperation, which grew out of NAFTA and is located in Montreal, has had almost no public profile and is woefully underused.
In the realm of energy the three countries again are joined at the hip, acting as suppliers and consumers for one another.
None of this threatens the sovereignty of the three nations, Blank argues. At the end of the day voters in each country elect their own politicians and pay taxes to their respective governments. Clearer rules of engagement flowing from enhanced continental cooperation in fact enhances each nation's sovereignty.
Blank emphasizes that no master plan exists to unify North American countries and no one is considering a common currency or an EU-style governing structure. Those options would be "politically toxic."
He just wishes there were more cheerleaders for the continent.
Students are never taught about North America as a unit, observes the Philadelphia native. "There's just no sense of a continental entity, no sense of a shared vision. It's all little bits and pieces, and that is so sad."
Blank believes the Security and Prosperity Partnership -- an enterprise composed mainly of business people holding closed meetings since 2005 -- should be allowed to die, because it has become such a focus for alarmists.
Instead, North American mayors should lead the charge to promote continental co-ordination. They're best positioned to sell cooperative ventures among civic jurisdictions. Another group that should be selling continental cooperation is university chancellors and presidents.
Blank believes, following the U.S. election, Canada will have a window of opportunity to influence the U.S. to simplify and streamline Canada-U.S. border procedures.
An Obama presidency would be less likely to continue playing on American fears about national security, as George W. Bush did. The mantra "security trumps trade" might give way to a new willingness to make the border a friendlier place.
Ultimately, Blank says, Canada and the U.S. should move toward a system of perimeter security, allowing freer movement of people and goods between the two countries. He'd like to see the two countries eliminate duplication and join forces to coordinate customs inspections.
Blank doesn't foresee any renegotiation of NAFTA because, whether Barack Obama or John McCain wins the election, the current financial crisis and other pressing issues will curtail any talk about trade.

Obama adviser tells Vancouver forum blacks felt loved back on election day
VANCOUVER, B.C. — Barack Obama's election meant U.S. voters not only chose a black man for the first time but finally returned the love blacks always had for their country, a political strategist and Obama supporter said Thursday.
"I think nobody really loves America more than black Americans, because black Americans loved America when America didn't love us back," keynote speaker Jamal Simmons said in a sometimes emotional speech at the 14th annual Canadian American Business Council forum.
"The relationship has been getting better for a long time and I'm not Pollyanna about race relations," said Simmons, who runs his own media consulting company and is often seen on CNN.
Simmons acknowledged that one election doesn't erase centuries of prejudice.
"But on election day, it was as if the object our long-term affection turned around and finally acknowledged that, though we have had our disagreements, like an old couple we are in this together.
"And finally, she embraced us back."
In a speech that focused mainly on the long U.S. campaign that culminated last week in Obama's election as president, Simmons said Obama's victory was treated as special around the world.
He told delegates that he first realized that Obama could be president as far back as two years ago.
And he recalled Obama's trip during the campaign to Germany, where he was greeted by about 200,000 Germans waving U.S. flags.
"It's a tremendous sight when you think about Germany's history, and it says something about where we are in the world."
While TV viewers on election night will remember the sight of Rev. Jesse Jackson with tears streaming down his face, Simmons said that while he also is black he did not cry.
He waited until the next day.
Simmons saw TV coverage of some black U.S. troops watching the election results in Iraq.
"I thought about these people who get up every morning and fight for their country. And how different they must have felt on Wednesday morning than they felt on Monday.
Now, when he sings the U.S. national anthem or recites its pledge of allegiance, Simmons says that "it's different today than it used to be."
David Wilkins, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, was among the forum participants, advising again that protectionism must be avoided in the U.S., despite the tough economic times the country faces.
"I think Canada-U.S. collaboration is more important today than it ever has been," said Wilkins, who is a strong supporter of President Bush and was appointed ambassador to Canada in 2005.
"This is no time for my country to disengage from you, our best friend and ally and trading partner, or disengage from the rest of the world.
"This is the very time we need to be partnering for solutions and not retreating into protectionism."
The allusion to not retreating into protectionism could have been in reference to reports during the U.S. presidential campaign that Obama had made protectionist references.
On the campaign trail, Obama sounded protectionist at times, even hinting that he would renegotiate NAFTA to protect industrial jobs in hard-hit parts of the U.S. industrial heartland.
