Close only counts in horseshoes

We came so close to Canada and the US finalizing a trade deal. Unlike horseshoes close does not count or help either countries economy. The below was pasted by a US economist, this was to show the real trade advantage the US had.

Politicians who are to represent "We the People" on both side of the border are certainly not doing this IMO. Canada politicians stated POTUS is taxing his own people. CDN government after break down are now taxing Canadians as they implement tariffs.

Unless both governments get back to the table, make a deal for the people, we the people will pay the price.

Thoughts?

The US would actually be a surplus

If you remove fuel and hydro from trade between Canada and the US, the trade deficit for the US would actually be a surplus. In 2023, the US recorded a trade deficit of $36 billion with Canada, but when you exclude energy exports, the surplus is approximately $85 billion. This indicates that the US has a significant advantage in the trade relationship, particularly in services, which has a surplus with Canada.
