Yes. We do. Those numbers don't take into account the goods that move into the U.S through Canada, but are not Canadian products.

Which would make it accurate then. Those goods that are moved into the U.S. through Canada would be credited to the country of origin, not Canada.

Not in your chart. It shows action across the border in both directions. It doesn't cite production. And it also negates the service industry, which is a factor in GDP, so it's a factor in trade. U.S has a trade surplus with Canada. There's no way to spin it otherwise.

There is no spin. Just facts from our own government. Which clearly shows a deficit for many, many years.

OK...go with that. The rest of us will deal in facts.

Complex issue for sure, but don't be like trump, and simply parrot nonsense because it makes your side look good.

This link references both issues I mentioned.

Trade Balance

  • The U.S. goods trade deficit with Canada was $17.5 billion in 2017, a 59.7% increase ($6.5 billion) over 2016.
  • The United States has a services trade surplus of an estimated $26 billion with Canada in 2017, up 8.0% from 2016.

You have on .gov site that says one thing, I have one .gov site that says another. They both however agree on the goods deficit. Perhaps we need to manufacture automatic baby seal clubbing and skinning machines.......might even up the goods trade.

Just the depth and wit we’ve come to expect from morwron
 
One thing lost in trade discussions on the import side is that these are private decision of the businesses and end consumers on what we purchase and for how much. They don’t have a gun to anyone’s head saying you must buy this in Italy for this price. We are buying foreign goods because we want to and we think the price is ok, tax or no tax. It’s not tied to the exports when I decide to buy that Rolex. If it costs too much I can choose a timex or bulova instead.
