Canada can export to a different country, maybe China. Let’s try that strategy out! Trade surplus for the US!
US is the world’s largest consumer of oil. We have an oil addiction.

You should check out the meme thread sometime. Little change of pace for ya.
You're disputing the #'s shared between Canada and the U.S., per capita, I see. You're saying the numbers do not calculate correctly. Reasonable assessment to identify would be per capita between Canada and the U.S.
You used "Statistica"... So I'll play with your lead.
Oil consumption in Canada 2004-2023
Published by Statista Research Department, Jul 15, 2024Oil consumption in Canada reached roughly 2.4 million barrels per day in 2023, an increase of 1.7 percent when compared to the previous year.
Oil consumption in the U.S. 1998-2023
Published by Statista Research Department, Oct 14, 2024In 2023, the United States consumed nearly 19 million barrels of oil daily. In comparison to the previous year, figures increased by around 0.6 percent.
United States "nearly" 19M x 365 days = 6.9B / 340 million people = 20 barrels per person.
Canada: "roughly" 2.4M x 365 days = 876M / 40 million people = 21.9 barrels per person.

I do, I just don’t post. MostlyYou should check out the meme thread sometime. Little change of pace for ya.
if they are clever and/or funny. Mostly I think they are made by people with too much time on their hands. lol yes, I see the irony.Sigh. Who cares? Wasted brain space trying to prove an irrelevant point.
The US is the worlds largest user of oil.
The US has a trade deficit with Canada because of the oil the U.S. imports. Oil the U.S. wants. If the oil is eliminated from the export/import calculations, the U.S. has a trade surplus. The US’s hunger for oil is causing the trade deficit issue.
You're the one that brought it up, apparently you cared until you determined it, "Irrelevant" when it does not fit the common understanding of matching apples with apples. Per capita. Got it.
Sounds better to say America is addicted to oil. Fits an agenda.
Sigh.

When a hunt talk member excludes Canada's MAIN export to the U.S., the calculations of U.S. / Canadian surplus and deficit will change.
Reality, Canada nor America excludes oil as an export.
You completely miss the point.
The trade deficit is “evil” and we need to “negotiate” to have a trade surplus ignoring the fact the United States needs to import products - especially oil based on the complexity of the U.S.’s oil market. We’re creating our own deficits and then get mad about it.
You want a trade surplus with Canada? Stop buying oil. Oh wait - the U.S, needs oil. Let’s forget that the US exports more products to Canada than it imports beside the oil we want. Let’s complain about the small dairy market.
Treating Canada the way Trump has is an embarrassment to the country.
Hah! You completely skipped my comments... surprisingly we mostly agree about this admin's activity related to Canada, I'll save you the hassle reading back, x pages...
Next subject you are clearly not aware:
Canada / U.S. exports to each other: Primarily, U.S. exports sweet crude whereas Canada exports sour crude. U.S. accepts the sour crude as we have refineries that use the cheaper sour crude and refinaries already in place to reduce the sulfer content.
Canada values U.S. export of sweet crude as they need it. Sweet holds value for gas, diesel, and aviation fuel that their primary sour is unable to accomplish w/o extreme refining that U.S. already has functioning, etc.
Not only that, though the jobs their export of sour crude to U.S. is significant.
