“They do 95% of their business with us”
FALSE
What the record shows
Statistics Canada reports 75.9% of Canada's exports went to the US in 2024; 71.7% in 2025; 67.2% including services in 2025. Most recent data (July 2026) shows 66.3%.
Claim of 95% substantially overstates Canada's trade dependency. Actual figures range from 67-76% depending on metric and period.
