| Description |
The Toronto adherents of the staple thesis argue that the dependence of Canada, first on Great Britain, then on the United States, emerged from a disproportionately great capital investment in the extraction and trade of raw materials and a much lower investment in large-scale industrial production of processed commodities. This distorted investment leads to an unbalanced international trade: staples such as fish, fur, wheat, timber, oil and gas, are extracted from nature and exported as payment for the import of largely manufactured goods.
