Most of that is crude oil. USA exports more oil than it imports. The issue is oil USA gets from shale fracking - they aren't set-up to refine...so they export it.
Then USA imports heavier crude from Canada & Mexico for refining.
If the other natural resources USA imports from Canada are an issue re: the imbalance...the simple answere is DON'T IMPORT THEM. Use your own. Don't be applying tariffs.

 I think this will get back on track fairly soon, Trump will move on, he has other things to do. 

When he says “subsidizes” he means the US buys more from Canada than it sells to Canada.  The trade imbalance last year was close to $100B CDN. 

 He Has no character flaws, he`s a narcissist there for no flaws.

 He does have other plans and its clear that it is to threaten, offend, criticize and belittle every nation on this planet.

 Buying from Canada is a non an issue when the stuff you buy is stuff you really really need that you can`t get any where else cheaper.

 There is a really good chance that we, Canada will end up cutting ties totally with the USA. Trump will then have destroyed a centuries old partnership. Your country heading forward, is potentially looking at total isolation that no one will do trade with. Everyone may think its all a joke but, we the rest of the world see`s it quite differently.
 Trump is now seen as a threat to world stability and frankly, he dosn`t care or is incapable of seeing the harm he`s doing.
 No one here in Canada can even comprehend the idea of the USA being our enemy, but it`s heading that way.
 Just try and remember or realise, we arn`t booing you Americans personally, we`re booing what the USA has become under Donald Trump. But probably you guys too for buying into all this crap.

 There`s a running bet here locally as to how long it will take before this buffoon gets one between the eyes.

The relationship twixt USA & Canada - no matter how long The Donald is around - will never be the same again.
This time the bone is broken clean.
Mass exodus of Canadian snowbirds leaving Florida (& other warm spots) selling their properties.
Airlines here are concerned that the number of people cancelling - or switching their travel plans to the States. Don't forget, we can always go elsewhere..for ALOT LESS than Fla. (Cuba, South America, Costa Rica etc.)
The untruths The Donald spews are - for some reason - swallowed whole by the American public.
This Musk / Trump alliance is not good for anyone..least of all the American nation as a whole.

Thats not something you see there. I don't think the population is allowed to own any..they are grindingly poor.
More than 10% of the population has fled the country already. Thats mostly young people. It would appear that Cuba has no future, unless they can retain their young folk, & change the gov't.(But that wont happen)

As a Canadian, I was disgusted at the booing by the fans at the Canada/USA hockey gain. I thought I was ashamed to be Canadian by what our current PM has done to our country, but as an ex-hockey player, this was over the top. I can't and won't apologize for Canadians who supported the booing, but I do apologize personally. I'd like to say this isn't the real Canada, but I fear we've gone to far down the Woke leftist rabbit hole to ever return that it may be what we've become. I would welcome Manitoba becoming a state. If I was younger, I would move. This country does not reward hard working men and women, but caters to the lazy and worthless who have never contributed.

I am hoping that Canadians get a wake call like the American did.

Be safe.

Hey we can all vote for PP, he plans to Americanize or health care. I`m out if that`s the case.  Who in Gods name is left or even worth voting for, to put Canada right, I fear no one.

Actually, PP wants a two tiered system. Basic health for all and for those who can and want to pay will have an option to see "private" clinics. So I guess I'd opt for the 2nd tier rather than die in a hospital hallway like we are now. Free health care doesn't work anymore. What doctor wants to live in Canada? What young Canadian kid wants to be a doctor when they can be a YouTube influencer? More money, no commitment. Just my .02 worth...
