WTF is a QUEBEC radio station talking about America's election for?
Why would they NOT talk about it? What goes on in the US affects them greatly:
In addition to being Québec’s largest trading partner by far, the US is the leading buyer of Québec goods internationally.
Almost 75% of Québec’s international exports are shipped to the United States.
Québec-US trade partnership
In 2008, the value of trade in goods between Québec and the US totalled $78.5 billion (all figures in Canadian dollars).
Transportation equipment, aluminium and other metals, paper and wood products account for most of Québec’s manufacturing exports to the US.
From state-of-the-art aircraft to renewable energy, Québec is the sixth-largest exporter to the US, outpacing the United Kingdom and South Korea.
The main destinations for Québec’s exports to the US are New York State ($6.1 billion), Vermont ($3.2 billion), Pennsylvania ($3.1 billion), Tennessee ($3.1 billion) and Illinois ($2.6 billion).
The US accounts for 62% of foreign investment in Québec. In the tourism sector, 60% of Québec’s international tourist revenues come from south of the border.
