I have a bunch of gold and silver maple leaf coins and I am pretty sure that there are more Canadian products available in our stores (I live in Austria).

Screw trade tariffs.

    Thanks for the encouragement. But I think Europe pretty much got it covered.

    I go to France every year and I rarely see any Canadian products other than anything maple.

      When you have a large common market, there’s less need to look elsewhere for substitute goods. It’s a strong point for the market.

      CETA is a great move, but let’s face it—many goods just aren’t worth the transportation costs when you have plenty of alternatives within the common market. So, it makes sense that the EU has a trade surplus with us, so good on them. :)
