Here is an interesting map that tracks every important agreement Canada has signed (or is expected to sign) with other countries since March 2025. It is called the Variable Geometry Map, which is in direct response to what Prime Minister Carney outlined in his Davos speech at the beginning of the year: “To help solve global problems, we are pursuing variable geometry. In other words, different coalitions for different issues, based on common values and interests.”
The agreements are bucketed into five deal types: strategic partnership, economic, security, resources, and technology. They’re all listed in this Google Sheet if you’d like to do an audit. All in all, there are 119 agreements (82 of which have already been signed), spanning 31 countries if you exclude the United States. I like this strategy at a high level, but of course, signing agreements is only one thing. The proof will be in what these ultimately do for Canada.
