Abstract: The United States is Canada’s largest trading partner by far. In 2024, 75.9% of Canadian exports went to the United States, while 62.2% of Canada’s imports came from the United States. In early 2025, trade tensions emerged between the two countries, leading to U.S. tariffs imposed on Canadian exports and Canadian counter-tariffs imposed on U.S. imports. According to a recent analysis, 8.8% of Canadian workers (corresponding to roughly 1.8 million jobs) were employed in industries dependent on U.S. demand for Canadian exports (henceforth, IDUSCEXs), either directly or indirectly
