Public debate on North America can sometimes be shaped more by perception than by evidence. This session draws on original research and longitudinal data to ground the conversation in what the numbers actually reveal about the state of regional integration, from trade flows and investment patterns to shifting public attitudes across the three countries.

The discussion will examine where the data may challenge conventional assumptions and where real gaps in regional alignment remain, exploring what evidence-based analysis means for the decisions facing policymakers and business leaders today,and how a shared commitment to accurate, rigorous information can strengthen the foundations for long-term North American cooperation and competitiveness.
