The first contact of Canadians with Russians was in 1918 when, at the
suggestion of Britain, Canada sent its forces to Russia to participate
in foreign intervention. The intervention of Canadian troops in
Russian affairs during the civil war, the subsequent intensification of
the actions of the Communist Party of Canada and the persecution of
religion in Russia did not contribute to the development of
communications. They began to develop only in 1920 Canada was
interested in Russia as a promising economic partner. On the other
hand, Russia, devastated by civil war and foreign intervention,
needed industrial equipment, agricultural machinery and, especially,
food. Russia has realized its interests in the elimination of diplomatic
isolation of the country, as well as in the field of foreign trade. For
Canada, opened a huge Russian market.
But the relationship between Canada and the Soviet Union was
unstable. In 1927 Canada followed Britain and severed its relations
with the USSR. For the next fifteen years, the countries did not have
trade with each other. In 1931, the Canadian government
established a ban on the importation of coal and other goods from
the USSR. Moscow quickly took retaliatory measures, imposing an
embargo on all Canadian imports. Canada and the USSR could not
get closer and establish diplomatic relations until the outbreak of
World War II. Obviously, the Canadian government, in the general
interest of fighting fascist Germany, supported the USSR.
The official signing of the agreement on the establishment of
consular relations took place on February 5, 1942 in London.

Russia and Canada are not in any common trading
blocs. But in the last couple of years, Canada, like
many countries in North America and Europe, has
imposed sanctions against Russia. So in the near future the volume of trade between these countries may decrease, although over the past few years it has only increased
· Absolute advantage
Canada and Russia have an
absolute advantage in the export
of fuel raw materials. These
countries are rich in natural
resources and have large oil
deposits, which are so necessary
for the whole world. Canada and
Russia have the required
knowledge and equipment for the
extraction and export of oil and
they border with their consumers.
Canada exports fuel resources to
America, and Russia supplies
them to Europe.
· Comparative advantage
Canada and Russia have a
comparative advantage in
many branches of the
agrarian industry. Despite the
fact that these countries are
rich in land, national
conditions do not allow to
grow many varieties of plants
throughout the year. So it’s
much more profitable not to
spend huge amounts on
greenhouses and fertilizers,
but to import finished
products from other countries.
Canada and Russia are very similar countries, but nevertheless they have an absolute advantage in different industries. Therefore, it is very important for them not to stop trading among themselves.
