[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH Percentages can be manipulated easily when you don't provide the hard numbers behind them. In response, how does the method of transportation contribute to the trade deficit? The goods are going to be transported one way or another, by rail, truck, air, barge or whatever. [/quote] You have to admit that this data supports the theory that importers into the US are less likely to end up as captive rail shippers, while exporters out of the US are more likely to be captive rail shippers. We know for a fact that non-captive rail shippers pay lower rates than captive rail shippers, which makes it much easier to import into the US and much harder to export out of the US. It would appear that the captive U.S rail shippers are more likely to turn to trucks to get their goods into Canada, while Canadian rail shippers seem to prefer to stick with rail shipping into the US relative to their US counterparts.
