Fact check on Trump's claims

 Trump posted this week: "Canada lives because of the United States." "America doesn't need anything they have." Here are the five numbers that answer that claim directly.


Canada supplies the US with 4 million barrels of oil per day — more than Saudi Arabia and all of OPEC. American Midwest refineries cannot switch suppliers. Canada supplies 60% of America's uranium powering 93 nuclear reactors and 70 million homes. Canada supplies more natural gas to the US than any other country. Canada holds 13 of 17 critical minerals America needs for defence, EVs and AI. Canada is America's largest export market at $380 billion per year — larger than China, Mexico and the EU combined.

Carney said "Canada has what the world wants." These five numbers confirm it. Poilievre said both countries lose when this goes all the way — and these numbers confirm that too. September 8 is 11 days away. After seeing these numbers do you think Trump believes Canada needs the US more, or is this political theatre for his base? Tell us in the comments.
