STFU, Canada is our largest trading partner.

Oil, propane, natural gas, lumber, plywood, osb, maple syrup, vegetables, Christmas trees, paper, wood pellets, rock salt, grains, diamonds, gold, copper, automobiles, etc. These all items I personally know of that are made in Canada and shipped into the US.

Canada is one of the most resource rich countries in the world. Especially, in comparison of their population of only 30 million.

The real problem is that Canadian trucking companies can ONLY truck loads into and back to Canada. That means they can pick up a load in BC and deliver it to Idaho. Then they have to take another load back into Canada. They can not pick up a load in Idaho and take it to WA or MT or anywhere else in the USA. This keeps the trucking rates high for the US trucking companies.

It works both ways... We supply most of their fresh foods during the winter. They would get hungry and change their minds so fast it would make your head spin. Shut it down, it won’t last long.
