The numbers imply that we're not. The share of Canadian foreign direct investment in some of the strongest centres of growth in the world, in Asia, Latin America, and Africa is in 10ths of percentage points compared with the vast majority of our foreign direct investment that is located in developed markets and some of the largest emerging markets.
Take India for instance. A tiny fraction of our total FDI has been put into India, despite the fact that we obviously have a large diasporic and ethnic historical Indian community within Canada. We don't seem to be exploiting those potential cultural, familial, and historical roots in a way that leads to dollars following them. We certainly are not using them in non-traditional areas, the 40 or 50 countries I mentioned in the world that receive almost no foreign direct investment from the rest of the world.
