About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada.

Canada sells raw materials to the US and buys manufactured goods in return. The " trade deficit" so vociferously complained about and unfairly likened to "subsidies" is because the 400 million Americans have far greater appetite for raw materials than the 40 million Canadians have for American products. The only way to equal the imbalance which it really isn't would be for Americans to buy less raw materials. This will mean a claw back to a standard of living for Americans similar to what their grandparents experienced. Fewer and less of everything. Good luck with that.

Also, Canada is already the largest export market for the USA. Does Trump really expect a country with only 10% of U.S population won't create a trade deficit for the USA? But what USA imports, they NEED...tarrifs just make those imports now more expensive. "Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states.

I liked some of Trump policies, but his reasoning for Tariffs are stupid. Of course there is a 'deficit' in import vs export with Canada. Canada only has 41 millions people vs 335 million in the US. The US imports for 335m people and Canada imports for 41m people... it's quite simple really. I'm no expert but even I can tell Tariffs won't do what Trump thinks it will. I'm dissapointed, they have alot of smart people on his team and none of them could convince him not to Tariff stupidly.

[@evangelpaul1027]

It’s a double play. It’s about the deficits but he also really wants them to take accountability in their own nations for border security in respect to the US. Particularly Mexico & Canada. I suspect that’s why they were given higher tariffs than China at this moment. These tariffs are aimed to bring them to the table and force a new agreement and one that will include border/national security. It’s quite simple to see what he’s doing. The difference is Trump is not status quo versus the others who are reactionary. Do you not think Trump has thought about this? He campaigned on this in 2015. He even said in his new tweet there will be some pain but whether you agree with him or not, he’s right in that Canada & Mexico needs the US more than the other way round. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

[@StradhV]

@@evangelpaul1027 The border security is one of the policies I do agree with, Canada should do better there. Canada also suffers from allowing too many illegals and often times, criminals in. Being amiacable and working together would have been a much better approach. Tariffs won't solve that, it will just make it worse, if you dislike your neighbors why should you care about their security?

Canada had already added a billion dollars for border security. But it's far more effective for the RCMP and police to find any drug labs in our cities and towns than to catch 2 dudes crossing the border with a small amount of drugs.
