I believe that is true. But from what I have read, most American companies can’t afford to get into the business because as soon as they are successful, the tariffs kick in.
It takes a fair amount of work and money to set up a business to export goods to a foreign country.
I don’t think too many people are interested in selling a product to a country where as soon as you get the supply chain set up and are successful, the other country then puts enormous tariffs on additional products that you try to sell - effectively putting the American company out of business in Canada as soon as it hits the Canadian quota.
