In this era where international regional integration and processes to promote globalization are at the forefront of political issues on the world stage, every region of the world, whether sovereign or non-sovereign, is seeking in this globalization mechanism to promote its interests, be they cultural, political or economic. At various levels, Canada, like other territories around the world, is trying to play its game well in this international context, as well as placing its pawns on the world stage. Canada is distinguished for a difficult relationship with the multilateral world, renounced by a number of international councils. The Government of Canada should be more cautious about complicated multilateral processes and should have a good review of all the organizations it is part of.

Globalization is a hot topic of the day. Not a day goes by without us being overwhelmed by the overwhelming news resulting from this all-out integration: relocation of jobs to countries where working conditions are too often unacceptable, closures of companies due to overly intense global competition, deterioration of the environment resulting from unbridled production, etc. In addition, workers’ worries about the consequences of China’s growth in the world of work are added. In this age where finance is queen and dictates the behavior of business leaders, where companies close their doors even if their business is good, where national champions are bought without the governments do not lift a finger, where Savers are robbed by unscrupulous financial actors who remain unpunished, the world seems more uncertain than ever. Recently, the world seems to have entered an era of great turbulence: unprecedented financial scandals which in their wake lead to many job losses; real estate and financial crises in the United States that threaten the balance of the global economy; rising food prices and violent protests in several developing countries. And international institutions, supposed to manage these crises, seem powerless to contain them.
