Alberta selling oil to USA is, by itself, like 20% of Canada's entire GDP.
And 70% of all other exports go to USA too. So yeah it is mostly just theater because there's a loud mouth idiot in the White house.
They're doing some lip-service and just hoping it will blow over when Trump is gone.
- arbirk 16d agoit is only around 5% of GDP

- ian_b13 15d agoThe official stats Canada website has energy products at ~23.5% of total exports for July 2026 https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2020013-eng.htm https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2020013... With crude oil and natural gas making up almost 90% of that number in 2025 https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1210017201 https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=121001...
