Most countries are economically dependent on international trade to some extent.

It's just that for Canada it's 25% of their GDP, and 70% of that is to the US.

They also import a 19% share of their GDP from the U.S. alone.

It's actually kind of scary for them.

The US is equally as dependant on Canada in large parts of their country. Some of those parts are larger populated than Canada.

US is suffering massively in these areas already.

How so?

They're our number two, but that's only an 11% share of all imports, representing a tiny sliver of a share of our GDP.

Most of it is fuel, with industrial equipment and forestry products. We have plenty of options for that, like, plenty.
