America "We Don't Need Canada" — Now Watch What Happens

 

"Canada relies entirely on the U.S., we don't rely on Canada." — President Donald Trump

 

That's not just wrong. It's so economically illiterate that it raises serious questions about whether the person saying it understands how the American economy actually functions.

 

Here's what Trump isn't telling you: Right now, as you're reading this, 4.1 million barrels of Canadian crude oil are flowing into U.S. refineries. American homes in the Midwest are being heated with Canadian natural gas. Power grids in New York, Michigan, and Minnesota are running on Canadian electricity. And if any of that stops, even temporarily, the economic consequences would be catastrophic.

 

This video breaks down the actual numbers behind the U.S.-Canada relationship:

 

→ 63% of U.S. crude oil imports come from Canada (not the Middle East, not Venezuela—Canada)

  

→ 98% of U.S. natural gas imports are Canadian → 82% of electricity imports flow south from Canadian power plants

 

→ $151 billion in annual energy trade that American infrastructure literally cannot function without 

 

→ $350 billion in U.S. exports to Canada—more than to any other country

 

 But it's not just energy. When Trump imposed 25% tariffs in 2025, U.S. imports collapsed 20% in a single month. American manufacturers suddenly paying 25% more for Canadian steel didn't celebrate—they started planning layoffs. Inflation, which had finally been cooling, began ticking back up. And the damage is still accelerating. 

 

 Meanwhile, something unprecedented is happening north of the border. For the first time in modern history, Canada's prime minister said Canadians now live in "dark days brought on by a country we can no longer trust." That country is America. 90% of Canadians oppose annexation. 82% say they'd rather rejoin the British Empire than become the 51st state. 

 

The closest alliance in modern history is fracturing in real time, and the consequences—economic, diplomatic, strategic—are only beginning to unfold. 

 

 We're watching a masterclass in how to destroy a relationship that took 175 years to build. And whether you support Trump or not, the math doesn't care about politics. The oil still needs to flow. The natural gas still needs to move through pipelines. The supply chains still need to function. Reality always wins. 

 

This isn't partisan analysis. This is just following the numbers to their logical conclusion—and the conclusion is alarming.
