Canada First: A Bold Plan to Defend our Economy and Resources
The Canadian Strategic Readiness Initiative (CSRI) is dedicated to strengthening Canada’s resilience and preparedness in an evolving global landscape. Our mission is to enhance national security, economic stability, and strategic capabilities by fostering collaboration between government, industry, and key stakeholders. Through proactive planning, policy development, and investment in critical infrastructure, CSRI ensures that Canada remains agile and responsive to emerging challenges. We are committed to driving innovation, securing supply chains, and developing forward-looking strategies that safeguard the nation’s interests while promoting long-term prosperity.

The Plan
The Canadian Strategic Readiness Initiative (CSRI) is a bold national strategy aimed at securing Canada’s economic and defense independence while reshaping the balance of trade and industrial power between Canada and the United States. By stockpiling critical resources—including military-grade steel, aluminum, and energy reserves—Canada will insulate itself from U.S. economic coercion, redirect key exports away from the American market, and leverage its control over essential materials to force more favorable trade negotiations.
This initiative directly challenges U.S. trade dominance by ensuring that Canada no longer supplies strategic commodities to the U.S. under unfavorable terms. CSRI will provide Canada with unmatched bargaining power, limiting American access to steel, aluminum, and energy while maintaining Canada’s ability to supply NATO and allied partners on its own terms.
