Peter Burgess COMMENTARY I have a low confidence that the information I am seeing from YouTube is real and reliable. There is a high volume of YourTube material which I 'like' and include in my archives, but I am increasingly concerned that what I 'like' has been curated by YouTube's algorithms to achieve YouTube goals rather than my omw! I have a reasonably high confidence level that the informaiton documented in this particular YouTube is reasonable realistic and reliable ... though the data presented is somewhat different from what I would have expected. This may well be an indicator that the information has been compiled in large part with AI assistance and inadequate human oversight! Caveat Emptor! I have had Canada on my radar as long as I can remember, and I took the opportunity when I was at University to travel with the Cambridge Canada Club by air from London to New York and back in the summer of 1960 and 1961. Two planeloads of students travelled West in late May and returned East in mid-Septemner. We were allowed to do paid work in Canada, but not in the United States. My two trips to North America gave me the opportunity to earn a huge amount of money by English student standards working for pay in Canada, and coutresy of this money gave me the opportunity to travel extensively and learn a lot about the USA and Canada. The enormous 'money wealth' of Canadians and Americans was something that came as a huge surprise ... and gave me a much improved perspective on many of the things that interested me. But these visits also gave me a very useful foundation of understanding about the importance of good national political leadership and the need for an enabling environment in support of society (people) and the economy (business). Before these two visits to North America, I had travelled with my family a lot to different parts of the UK mainly visiting with relatives. During various University vacationsI got to visit France ... to play rugby! ... and Switzerland (Klosters near Davos) to ski ... and also the Channel Islands to play rugby!

UNITED KINGDOM number 10 United Kingdom when the US slapped heavy tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum in March 2025 panic gripped export hubs from Quebec to British Columbia but across the Atlantic the United Kingdom stepped in with a surprising and valuable lifeline the UK didn't just buy Canadian goods it bought gold in fact Canadian exports of unrefined gold to the UK skyrocketed that month helping drive a 24.8% jump in total Canadian exports to non- US countries london one of the world's most important financial centers became the single largest buyer of Canadian precious metals analysts say this wasn't just a fluke a combination of portfolio diversification during economic uncertainty and rising demand from the UK's tech and aerospace sectors fueled a surge in bullion shipments canadian refineries worked overtime and the ripple effect reached mining towns in 2:01 Ontario and Quebec keeping thousands employed but the gold rush was just the beginning british manufacturers also began sourcing more raw materials from Canada replacing US suppliers hampered by protectionist policies as the postrexit UK looked to redefine its global trade identity Canada emerged as a reliable partner politically stable resourcerich and well regulated even more promising this shift wasn't temporary precious metal exports from Canada to the UK have continued to rise every month since December suggesting a long-term rebalancing of trade flows and while the headlines focused on tankers and tariffs the real story was quietly written in London's vaults one economist in the city of London put it bluntly the Americans pulled back we leaned in for Canada that lean meant survival it meant stability and it signaled something bigger a world no longer anchored solely 3:00 to US demand in this new trade reality the UK helped Canada turn a painful blow into a golden opportunity and as the crisis evolved so did the relationship marking the beginning of a post-tariff era where trust and timing matter more #9 ... NETHERLANDS than geography number nine Netherlands 3:18 when the US tariffs hit Canada's steel and aluminum exports in March 2025 they triggered shock waves far beyond just metals one of the hardest hit sectors energy with American refineries pulling back Canadian crude oil needed a new home fast enter the Netherlands within weeks Dutch ports especially Rotterdam transformed into a vital lifeline for Canadian energy exporters according to Canadian trade data exports to the Netherlands surged sharply fueling a 32.0% rise in Canadian exports to the entire European Union that month alone Rotterdam's deep water terminals already among the busiest in the world began 4:02 receiving super tankers full of Canadian crude replacing lost US demand almost overnight and it wasn't just about volume dutch refineries were hungry for consistent stable supply chains as Europe scrambled to move away from Russian energy dependence canada's oil especially Western Canada Select fit the bill unlike US buyers Dutch energy firms weren't just placing spot orders they were signing long-term contracts positioning the Netherlands as Canada's new energy hub in Europe behind the scenes Canadian officials worked quickly to streamline logistics and compliance cutting red tape and accelerating port clearances the result a transatlantic pipeline of trust reliability and mutual benefit trade officials called it a quiet revolution one that reshaped Canada's energy export map within weeks it wasn't just about barrels and tankers this partnership stabilized Canadian energy stocks preserved oil sector jobs and gave Europe a dependable ally in a 5:02 time of turbulence could this shift become permanent many think so the Netherlands is investing heavily in green hydrogen infrastructure and Canada rich in natural gas and hydrogen feed stocks is poised to benefit if the trend continues Roderdam may no longer just be Europe's gateway port it could become Canada's energy bridge to the world when North America closed a door the Netherlands flung open a dock and helped keep Canada's economy afloat one tanker 5:32 #8 ... HONG KONG at a time number eight Hong Kong while 5:35 much of the world focused on Canada's crumbling trade ties with the US Hong Kong quietly became a crucial lifeline and not just for goods but for capital in March 2025 Canadian crude oil exports to Hong Kong surged by a staggering 35.2% jumping from approximately $630 million to nearly $850 million in a single month what made it so significant this wasn't 6:02 just a spike in oil demand it was a calculated bet by Hong Kong's energy traders and financial institutions as US tariffs crippled Canada's traditional trade routes Hong Kong's refineries and investment houses stepped in locking in long-term purchase contracts to secure energy supplies and diversify risk with regional uncertainty looming in China and volatility across the Asia- Pacific Hong Kong doubled down on Canadian crude and in doing so it helped stabilize not only Canadian exports but also the equity markets back home the influx of orders lifted shares of Canadian energy giants and reignited interest in ETFs focused on Western Canada Select behind the tankers a bigger story was unfolding barrel by barrel Canadian oil was being revalued not just as a commodity but as a dependable hedge in an unstable world hong Kong's open market structure and global trading expertise made it a 7:00 perfect partner unlike other Asian buyers dependent on state directives Hong Kong acted fast flexibly and strategically financial analysts called it a trans-Pacific pivot a signal that Canada's future in Asia wouldn't run solely through Beijing and it wasn't just about oil this trade boom deepened investment ties between the two economies with capital from Hong Kong flowing into Canadian infrastructure logistics and clean energy ventures even after spot prices softened in April orders from Hong Kong kept flowing suggesting a multi-year commitment not a one-time windfall when traditional allies pulled away Hong Kong cracked open its vaults opened its harbors and helped keep Canada's energy economy alive it wasn't just a rescue it was a highstakes realignment number seven #5 ... GERMANY Germany when US tariffs disrupted Canada's export flow in March 2025 one of the most critical responses came from an industrial giant across the Atlantic germany home to worldrenowned automakers 8:01 and precision engineering firms germany couldn't afford supply chain gaps in steel aluminum or high-tech components so when American imports suddenly dried up German companies pivoted fast toward Canada exports of Canadian goods to Germany jumped 28.7% year-over-year reaching approximately 3.1 billion USD in just one month that surge helped drive a broader 32% increase in total EUbound exports giving Canada a new industrial foothold on the continent the bulk of the demand billets rods high-grade aluminum and advanced machinery parts critical materials used in everything from cars and trains to turbines and robotics but the story didn't stop at raw inputs german buyers also ramped up imports of aerospace components and clean tech modules positioning Canadian suppliers inside Germany's green energy transition wind turbines EV batteries and solar 9:01 infrastructure all require the specialty alloys and precision parts that Canada excels at in response multi-year contracts began replacing short-term spot orders signaling a long-term shift in German procurement strategy a Frankfurt based trade officials stated Canadian suppliers stepped in where others stepped back and they delivered even concerns about transatlantic logistics were quickly addressed improve short sea shipping routes and rail corridors especially between Vancouver and Hamburg reduce delivery times by up to 15% and new bilateral customs agreements streamline crossber clearances making Canadian goods nearly as accessible as intra-Uropean shipments this wasn't just opportunistic buying it was a strategic pivot as Germany pushes to diversify away from Russian energy and reduce reliance on politically unstable markets Canada emerged as a stable trustworthy partner the result 10:01 not just billions in trade but a potential realignment of Europe's industrial supply chain with Canada as a permanent player germany didn't just buy from Canada they backed them and in doing so helped anchor a transatlantic alliance that could reshape manufacturing for years to come number #6 ... FRANCE 10:22 six France while others scrambled to react to US tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum France quietly became one of Canada's most valuable trade allies and in the most unexpected ways in the first quarter of 2025 Canadian exports to France surged past $3.21 billion making it Canada's fourth largest export destination but this wasn't just about machinery or metals agri food products took center stage french millers bakers and gourmet manufacturers ramped up imports of Canadian canola oil pulses and specialty crops seeking reliable supply as global grain markets tightened the result exports of field crops 11:02 climbed by 5% year-over-year and Canadian maple syrup even headline spring food expose in Paris from lentils in lion to barley and bordeaux Canadian agriculture gained premium shelf space in French markets often co-branded with local ingredients in new fusion products but the partnership didn't stop at the dinner table france's advanced aerospace and heavy machinery sectors traditionally aligned with US and German suppliers began sourcing high precision components from Canada to fill gaps caused by disrupted North American supply chains canadian-built aerospace grade parts found homes in factories in Tolouse and Liam strengthening industrial ties between the two nations perhaps most surprising however was France's long-term commitment in February 2025 French buyers signed multi-year procurement agreements for Canadian agri equipment and grain processing machinery contracts that lock in exports through at least 2027 12:01 this was no stop gap solution it was a strategic realignment trade analysts believe this shift was accelerated by Canada's early participation in the EU's digital customs reform which drastically reduced export processing times at French ports the result faster cheaper and more secure access to Europe's second largest consumer market one Paris-based importer put it simply 'When the US pulled back Canada stepped up and our shelves haven't been empty since with gourmet partnerships flourishing and industrial trust solidifying France didn't just buy Canadian goods it helped redefine Canada's place in Europe's future economy number five Japan while headlines focused on steel and aluminum a more critical trade story was unfolding beneath the radar liqufied natural gas LNG #5 ...

INDONESIA energy trade number four Indonesia while 15:00 much of the world scrambled to adjust after Trump's tariffs hit Canadian exports in 2025 Indonesia quietly emerged as one of Canada's most dynamic trade partners fueled by food security concerns industrial ambition and a newly signed free trade deal in the first quarter of 2025 Canada's exports to Indonesia surged across multiple sectors the biggest surprise agriculture pulses lentils chickpeas and peas jumped 42% year-over-year with shipments topping 350 million kg canadian legumes quickly filled empty shelves in Jakarta's wholesale markets after late 2024 crop failures strained Indonesia's domestic supply but food wasn't the only story canadian engineered wood products including veneer and laminated lumber saw a 28% increase driven by Indonesia's construction boom and rising demand for climate resilient building materials meanwhile agricultural machinery exports 16:00 jumped 35% as Indonesian farmers adopted Canadian-made harvesters and precision planting systems to modernize their practices this wasn't a flash in the pan multi-year supply agreements signed in early 2025 locked in trade through 2027 securing Canada as a top three machinery supplier by volume in the Indonesian market and then came energy in February Indonesia's state-owned utility PLN launched a pilot program using Canadian bioals as a cleaner alternative to traditional coal starting with 150,000 tons purchased for testing in Bali with the option to scale to 1 million tons annually but perhaps the most unexpected twist a reverse trade trend indonesian snack companies began co-branding local palm sugar with Canadian maple syrup creating gourmet products exported back to North America talk about poetic trade symmetry analysts say Indonesia's rapid 17:00 pivot toward Canada was driven by a desire to reduce reliance on politically unstable trade partners while securing long-term agricultural and energy supply chains one Jakarta based importer put it simply 'Canada brings what we need: food security modern tools and clean fuel what's not to like?' In a year dominated by global uncertainty Indonesia didn't just buy Canadian goods it rewrote the playbook for Southeast Asian trade 17:26 #3 ...
