Canada's been doing that since May 2003 when we got hit with the BSE crisis (aka mad cow disease). Slowly but surely we've been making inroads with other nations for trade.
Our trade is and always has been primarily with the USA. Exports to the USA in 2022 accounted for 63.4% of Canada's $1.5 Trillion in Global trade. We have plenty of other nations who want are goods but we are unable to do anything because of the ties made and cemented with the USA.
Slowly but surely doesn't work when every time negotiations come up we keep signing the same BS trade agreements.
I never mentioned America. I said we're making inroads with trading with other nations.
You posted an article about America and the potential for Trumps Presidency to hurt us in trade. You then had the audacity to claim that we are "slowly making inroads with other nations". Now here you are being all like "i NeVr mntion 'mEriCa".
It is 2024, or 21 years after you claim we "started making inroads", and you have no point to make about any of it.
Maybe try to stay on topic and speak to my points instead of pretending like you didn't literally bring up America by posting an article about America.
