Featured project

Canada Export Diversification Under US Tariffs

The question

Since the 2025 US tariffs, did Canada really move its goods exports away from the US, or is the change mostly gold and energy?

What I found

Partly. The US share of Canada's exports fell 8.4 points, from 76.2% to 67.8%, but gold explains more than half of that drop, and most of the rise in gold is a price effect. Without gold and energy, the share fell only 3.3 points. Among the tariffed sectors, only aluminum clearly found other buyers.
