So instead of enlightening me with these facts, you accuse me of acting in bad faith? I was under the impression that there was a trade deficit with Canada given the evidence I have found: https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c1220.html https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c1220.html .
jeromegv said there was no trade deficit with Canada, so I assumed good faith and responded to him/her under the pretense that they were referring to the "aggregate sales surplus" figure that has been in the news recently.
Can you please help me understand how I have ignored facts and acted in bad faith? I would like to fix this problem, but I do not understand where to begin.
- DomreiRoam 8y agoMy understanding is that your reference doesn't include services. I find this: https://www.usitc.gov/publications/industry_econ_analysis_332/2017/canada.htm https://www.usitc.gov/publications/industry_econ_analysis_33... and a synthesis by the WP: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/06/11/what-u-s-trade-with-canada-actually-looks-like/?utm_term=.526c2c88fe54 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/06/11/w... It seems that US and Canada trade is globally balanced.
- defertoreptar 8y agoYou're right. It looks like US - Canada services trade surplus makes up for the goods deficit.
