We know Trump's trade deficit argument is BS, but if you add in digital services, I guarantee the US has a MASSIVE trade surplus.
How many billions are Google, Amazon and Microsoft alone extracting from digital services in Canada? Why are these left out of the discussion, and we're only discussing natural resources & physical goods in the information age?
I'd like to see those who are not criminally deranged fascists start making this point.
