Canada, Meet Global China

Atlases in any Canadian home invariably display a vast expanse of blue separating the land masses of Asia and North America. The two continents comfortably occupy different pages, usually in separate sections.
We need a new kind of map. Globalization has increased Canada’s connections around the world through the multiple bands of diplomacy, commerce, migration, culture, and communication. That new map will shrink oceans, especially the Pacific, and show that human interactions are expanding in remarkable ways.
