Canada Is A Trading Nation

Canada is a major trading nation whose combined value of exports and imports is the equivalent of more than two-thirds of the country's GDP. Canada trades with the world but its main trading partner is the U.S., accounting for roughly three-quarters of trade and the majority of capital moving in and out of Canada.
