I and my bank account thanks you for your business.
That's OK
There is a far greater share of US companies "Extracting" dollars
from Canada and keeping it in the US.
I don't know what you're smoking. The US has been running a trade
deficit with Canada for at least the past 30 years:

Well unlike you, I've not been smoking stupid pills
Trade balance is a lot of things
It reflects the fact that Canada sells a whole lot of raw materials to the
US, while the US sells a lot of high-tech products and services to Canada.
Just go down the list of US corporations that are "XYZ Canada", like:
3M Canada
GM Canada
Chrysler Canada
IBM Canada,
Best Buy Canada
Etc.
They've been sucking $$$ out of Canada for a lot longer than you've been
around
..
Having a "trade imbalance" that is skewed because of all the raw products
Canada ships south does NOT in ANY way negate what I said.
And if you had ANY inkling about business, you would know that.
