9% growth per year so Canada can increase their total trade with the EU by .43% per year.

It will take until 2167 to completely replace Americaโ€™s trade share if the rate remains the constant. Looks like Ottawa needs to be heavily pressured to sign more deals with Europe so we can make that happen much sooner.

Well, US-EU and US-Canada trade is not only replaced by EU-Canada trade, but by a number of other relationships as well. For exam

Trade in both the EU and Canada is up, despite trade with the US being down in each bloc.

Also, these things tend to snowball into bigger deals.
