I wish more international trade was based on who shared our values, vs. what's cheaper. Aussies, Canadians and Kiwis all share values far more than Canadians do with Americans, despite the close proximity and shared culture.

I think Canada imports some Aussie and Kiwi products, like some wines, some fancy honeys, etc. But, unfortunately, both Canada and Australia are mainly resource-based economies these days, and export a lot of raw resources to be processed into goods in other countries.

yeah 100% agree. most of our resources go to china to be processed into the stuff you buy

i’ll buy shit loads of maple syrup and be real happy about it - as expensive as it is here 🥺
