In Canada, the country whose financial well-being is most tightly tied to trade with the U.S., there wouldn't be a single region or industry left untouched by a fiscal shock south of the border.

A side note:

It is amusing to see so many of my fellow Canadians harshly criticizing the USA, a country that has built itself into the #1 superpower from the ground up, when Canada is little more than a parasite in the grand scheme of things. Canada feeds off America's scraps, providing cheap labor when it's needed. Like Mexico, but without the warm weather.

Hmmm, wow did you come up with that on your own?

Not very well said my friend. It is ideals such as what you post that increase anti-American feelings through out the world. The United States became a super-power how? By using stolen technology. Remember who it was that created the Atomic Bomb. Remember the Nazi intelligence members that were used by Americans.

The United States is a great nation with a much greater ego. All one has to do is look back in history to see what fate lies ahead for America. The Greeks were great only to be destroyed. The Romans were great and what happened to them. I fear that a similar fate lies ahead for the United States but its downfall will take the rest of the world down with it.

Wrong, America created the atomic bomb.

Not in our lifetimes, pal. Keep on dreaming.

a-former-canuck..

Just keep believing that bud. You are no longer Canadian. You have, obviously, been sucked into that void of Americanism. There is absolutely no hope for you now.

This is Canada's role in the great American atomic bomb!

And it was a very small role, once the US Army took over.

Never forget: Canada needs America much more than America will ever need Canada.

You say that Canada needs the states more than they need us. Fine..Why is there such a large trade deficit between the United States and Canada. The United States imports far more from Canada than they export here.

I guess we could cut off some power to the States and then see how much they need us.

You have lost perspective my friend. You are stuck in a whirpool of deceit and misinformation that you take as the truth.

I feel sorry for you because as you loose your identity and become more American you become less of a person.

Big deal.. they import very little from Canada anyway (relatively speaking).

I'm less of a person because I don't agree with you? Where is that liberal Canadian "tolerance" now?

No, you stated it outright.

Do you know what a "side note" is?

And you are ignorant.

What do you define as very little?

Please justify your claims. I know I can find figures for you if you want.

PJB PJB:

What do you define as very little?

About 17%.

If you don't think somebody else could pick up the slack in Canada's absence, you're dreaming. I, for one, would be happy to see that business go to Asia instead so that the prices of consumer goods can continue to fall.

[-Mario-]

With Canada's early involment, USA would have taken a lot longer to perfect the first A-Bomb... The war in Asia would have been a lot longer.

And what you don't see here is... while we were all working in the A-Bomb, USSR were working on the H-Bomb. The project was expected to be have their first H-Bomb around 1948-1951 time frame. But, Stalin stopped to project because he couldn't wait a few more years and ordered his scientist to detonate an A-Bomb as early as possible. They lost a good 10 years of work and data. And if USA wouldn't had Canada involment, the USSR could had detonated the H-Bomb. Could you imagine, the US army working on a 10 to 20 KiloTonne bomb while the USSR get a MegaTonne bomb detonated. Because of Stalin's obsession and doing better than the US, he severly delayed the Hydrogen bomb program.

Just my 2 cents.

[PJB]

a-former...As a die-hard capitalist I could see you saying something like that. You would rather have a massive trade deficit so you could save a couple of bucks on socks.

You obviously do not care about your fellow Americans as much as you care about your bank account.

Truly pitiful.

Who is going to make up this deficit. What is the American National Debt right now?
