    Weird, you mean a country with a smaller population imports fewer things?

      It’s more like Canada produces a lot of the raw goods America consumes while being more self sufficient in manufacturing.

      A larger population should be what creates a trade surplus, if anything, as citizens of industrial societies almost always produce more than they consume. And they consume a lot.
