Original Note:
The claim in the video that the US subsidizes Canada is false. A trade deficit ($54.999B in 2024, per U.S. Census) reflects higher American imports of Canadian goods, not a subsidy or debt. Subsidies involve direct financial aid, which doesn’t exist in US-Canada trade. https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c1220.html https://www.argusmedia.com/pt/news-and-insights/latest-market-news/2649683-us-trade-deficit-with-canada-is-no-subsidy-td-bank https://www.hoover.org/research/tariffs-will-hurt-canadians-and-americans-alike
