John Ivison: Canada’s pivot to Europe for trade gains traction as Trump loses momentum

One of the most unheralded stories of last year was the increase in Canadian exports to the United Kingdom, to the point Britain has become this country’s second-largest export market, overtaking China.

In the first 11 months of 2025, exports to the U.K. hit $42.5 billion, compared to $31 billion to China. That is a nearly 60 per cent increase, in large measure because of a surge in gold shipments (Canada is a producer; Britain a global hub) but there were solid rises in agrifood, clean tech and aircraft.


Europe is pretty much Canada economically, over taxed, over regulated, hollowed out by mass migration, preyed upon by green scamming elites, criminalized by their governments. I do not see the upside.
