The revision somewhat balances the title. Statistics Canada notes that gold was the main engine of variations, as metal exports from the Gold, Silver and Platinum Unfinished Platinum fell 11.8% during the month, while imports in the same category increased by 24.2%. More worrying is that exports of industrial, equipment and parts have dropped by 9.5% in August while wood exports were down 25.4% and up to the lowest since May 2020, in the midst of paralyzing American rates.
Huardie is increasingly motivated by gold and these figures emphasize why.
In terms of American-Canada trade, comparing the first eight months of 2025 with the same period in 2024, exports fell by 3.3% while imports was less than 0.5%. This underlines how the trade war has changed, at least so far.
