The US auto industry is busy committing long term suicide. It’s essential for Canada to fully decouple from the auto sector to avoid being dragged down in the process. Time to turn decisively to China. A truly tragic state of affairs.

Canada's economy remains deeply tied to America's—most provinces trade more with the US than with other parts of Canada or other countries—but Canada's trade reliance on the US has fallen dramatically during Trump's 2nd term, hitting the lowest levels in 30 years.

Canada's non-US exports are near record highs, up 42% over the last year alone. Rising energy and gold prices have provided major tailwinds, but this export growth is occurring across a wide array of destination countries and industries.

Compared to 2024, Canadian exports to the UK are up 195% (mostly gold), exports to China are up 52%, exports to the EU are up 42%, and exports to other countries are up 18% The country's non-US exports of energy, minerals, food, aircraft, and consumer goods are all rising.

There's nothing at all incorrect about what you said, but my brain had a brief funny hiccup: "halfway to doubling is just... no change, right?"
