With U.S. President Donald Trump threatening 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian goods, the future of Canada’s exports to the United States seems uncertain. As Trump prepares to serve his second term in the Oval Office, the possibility of these tariffs becoming a reality looms large. This raises the question of what Canada has to offer that the U.S. considers irreplaceable.
Ontario’s Representative in Washington, David Paterson, has been engaged in high-level discussions regarding potential trade tariffs imposed by the U.S. He highlights the unique value that Canada brings to the table and how certain exports are considered essential by America. These high-grade goods are deemed as not easily replaceable from other regions in the world.
In a recent report by Global’s Mercedes Stephenson, the focus is on Canada’s most irreplaceable exports to the U.S. With tensions rising and the threat of tariffs looming, it is crucial to understand the significance of these exports and the impact they have on both countries. As negotiations continue and decisions are made, the future of US-Canada relations hangs in the balance.

It’s crazy how Canadian businesses have to shut down and go out of business because we have a incompetent government
No, the USA cannot replace Canadian oil.
No, the USA cannot replace Canadian forestry products.
No, the USA cannot replace Canadian critical minerals.
No, the USA cannot replace Canadian potash.
Not for a decade, and only at tremendous cost to them.
Anyone who believes blowhard Trump probably also believes that Poilievre will stand up to him.
Maple syrup 🍁😂
I think we as canadians could see this as an opportunity.
From the comments people have good ideas
We are the north strong and free.
Turn their electricity off 👿
Who cares about the anxiety creating "what if" scenarios. How about we just focus on what is happening!
We need to open more over seas markets…the short sightedness of the sitting government needs to stop…10 dollar a day child care is not going to do anything to stop a trade dispute with the US…
I havent bought any USA products since trump was in the first time.
canada should Stop sucking to US. Us is gonna go down. economically. while US suck to china they want canada to stop sucking to china.the world is bigger than US & china
Convict Felon!! Can’t cross the border with asking for special dispensation. Lets deny as he’s an active threat to the National Security of Canada!
This is about global power. With the BRICS rising the US is being threatened. If you look at what Trump is saying about what he wants to take. Greenland, the Panama Canal, Canada. Look at world trade routes.
If Trudeau would do his bloody Job to Protect our Borders, End the illegal Drug trade including the safe supply, that's trickling into the drug trade and pay 2% like he committed to years ago. Canada was paying 1.2% of the GDP back in the 90's . Which is about to rise to 5% so it should. Then Trump wouldn't be imposing a 25% tariff.
Canada is a socialist country. CANADA IS GOING DOWN
Is anyone educating Donald Trump on the news you just reported?
Canada 51st State 👍🏿
Recall David Paterson. He ignores and/or minimizes the dangers of the growing USA oligarchy.
Comedians and SNL cast members.
Nuclear is not a good response for energy! Paterson sounds like too much republican lovers … nit a good thing for the Canadian interest’s!
Danielle Smith should be the one negotiating with Trump not Jolley. She has the right approach. Trudeau & Ford are both Buffoons.
Americans, for their own safety best not be in Canada!!
It's time for Canada thinking of our own fuel refinery, manufacturing own brands automobile, exploring exports to new markets globally. These are very hard to do but we need to explore these options. More over, WE as Canadians across the country need to stand together as one not individually. Not Albertans, Ontarians, Quebecers….
Global world will never be equal I always say Global greed f__the world No countries are equal ever
It's crazy how underrated The Censored Guide to Wealth on Bovolorus is It's honestly eye opening
Why is there no Canadian flag behind this guy?
All the pot loving woke lunatics that voted for Liberals and their stupid policies years ago are the ones responsible to bring Canada into this mess. We should have had pipelines and economy in such a way that we are a global power. Do the right thing at least the next election whenever that is.
Trump said "You were born Canadian, but you will die American"
An average Canadian after compulsory deductions and rent ends up with only 10% as disposable income. In the great capitalist nation of USA after compulsory deductions and rent an average American has 30-40 % income. In addition due to the socialism our per capita income is only 72% of the great capitalist nation of USA. This implies that for every disposable dollar an American has we have only 25 cent. How can such one sided unequal deals work? It is obvious one party is looting its own citizens and that is not enuff so it has to loot the American consumer with higher disposable income and also students/immigrants from grower saver, efficient and productive economies. And obviously that party was elected by 2 cities and China. And obviously how long will agenda of loot work specially when 100% of looters suffer TDS
Stop calling them our ally, allies don’t backstab you 😂
Stop patronizing the US in every way, shape & form!
Seems to me Tyler that USA doesn't teach Americans about Canadian History
Soon to be US domestic product
What a useless guest. He said NOTHING to answer the question about annexation
