Abstract: The staples theory posits that a country rich in natural resources tends to rely heavily on extracting its natural resources for exporting to markets. An exporting country as such is known as “hinterland” whereas the destination of the commodity goods is known as “heartland”. In the Canadian context, fur, fish, and timber served as good examples that lend support to the validity of the staples theory.
