Canada is diversifying trade even further. Mark Carney is on his way to India with the expectation of initiating free trade discussions with PM Modi, and then on to Australia and Japan.

I was checking StatsCan records for a Hansard Files update. The numbers completely back you up. For decades, Ottawa obsessed over the American market. Now, the percentage of our exports going to the US just dropped to 71% in 2025. Meanwhile, non-US exports surged by 17%. The political noise during Question Period (the daily debate where MPs grill the government) ignores this reality. Real trade contracts tell a smarter story of survival.

71% to the U.S. and falling, while non-U.S. exports jump 17% isn’t a talking point… it’s Canada quietly de-risking its future.
