@dan613 I'd like to see those graphs excluding oil, gas, electricty exports. It would be a good time to apply export duties to those to offset US import duties on steel, aluminum, cars. Since oil & gas exports are so large, the export duties would be proportionally small, maybe even lost in the current volatility.

@johnefrancis Good point. Trudeau’s TMX opened up in May 2024. It ramped up to 85% capacity over the course of a year. As of January 2025 about 70% of the oil meant for export was already going overseas, but the energy regulator website doesn’t have data beyond that. https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/dc343c43-a592-4a27-8ee7-c77df56afb34/resource/404fa9e0-73b1-4a8c-9f43-8045d7edb426
