John,

You got me thinking...

I asked AI what the total trade between the US and Canada was in 2024?
The answer I got was 762 billion dollars.

I asked AI what the trade deficit was between the two countries and the answer was 63.5 billion, which is almost 10 percent.

I asked AI what percentage of Canada's exports go to the United States. The answer that I got was 77%.

The conclusion is that Canada turns 77% of it's products into wealth by sending them into US markets.
Yet, the US comes up short on the trade exchange by 63.5 billion.

I'm interested in a Canadian's answer to the following question:

Do you mind if we take a look at those numbers?
