Since 2015,Canada’s macroeconomic growth slowed significantly but in the long-term economic growth is expected to rebound. Inflation index continued to fall,but the internal structural problems have become increasingly prominent,including a slight increase in the interest rate,an exchange rate weakening,and dollar reserves increase. The employment situation has deteriorated,and various provinces,industries and sectors have significant differences in unemployment. The federal liberal party has won the 2015 election with a majority and enjoys surport from the voters. The government’s budget deficit has gradually increased,and the new government has made great efforts to cut taxes to support the middle class. After the new government came to power,Canada’s foreign policy will be more pragmatic and moderate. It will pay more attention to the prosperity and security of the Asia Pacific region with more interaction with the Asia Pacific powers and the group of countries. Asia’s security dilemma and the situation of the great powers of the game,for Canada to play a middle power diplomacy to provide greater space. Sino-Canada relations are expected to continue to pick up,bilateral cooperation needs to be further developed. But the friendly potential of the Trudeau administration will face pressure from domestic oppsition parties and the United States.
