<p>Well,it’s common sense.
Similar people,language and culture.</p>
<p>Interesting. If the US economy fails, the Canadian economy will fail as well because the people in both countries speak the same language and share the same culture?</p>
<p>Canada sells a lot to U.S and vice versa.
Canada’s economy is largey dependent on U.S.</p>
<p>They do have the Royal Mounted Canadian Police and maple syrup.</p>
<p>maple syrup is always good…i doubt it comes from canada though…</p>
<p>America has the most nukes.</p>
<p>America wins.</p>
<p>[/thread]</p>
<p>what can you do with the nukes?
Destroy the earth?</p>
<p>What CAN’T you do with nukes?</p>
<p>I can’t save the world,protect the environment or eliminate poverty with nukes.</p>
<p>Oh I disagree. If there are no people, there is no poverty. ;]</p>
<p>If America felt like being a dick, we could just use nuclear threats to get whatever we wanted. But all these human rights activists gotta ruin all the fun.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It does. During the winter, a lot of the Maple trees in National Parks have buckets hanging from them to collect the sap.</p>
<p>I imagine the US has an absolute advantage over Canada in every market. That is, it can produce more of anything than Canada can. In fact, the US economy slays Canada’s. Check the CIA world factbook.</p>
<p>So the Canadian dollar went up. Woot. Canadians still live in a god forsaken, forgotten wasteland. Their political power exists only by way of their proximity to the US.</p>
<p>I hate to sound rude, but Canada < US. I know that’s harsh, but welcome to the real world.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Don’t worry, the value currency of the God forsaken waste land didn’t go up. It was the currency of the supreme US that went down.</p>
<p>Canada is bigger,anyway.</p>
<p>Hey, at least we won’t be importing as much from China…oh wait, they pegged it. Darn. Well, they ought to raise it anyway.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>As a Canadian citizen (in America), I confirm the other guy’s right to say that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Like absolute advantage really matters it this context. The only reason is because the U.S. has more people. Canada, though, does have an absolute advantage in trees, oil, and polar bears (and MPs, but they sell those cheap, anyway), and a comparative advantage in many other goods and services.</p>
<p>rocker…i was joking about the maple syrup</p>
<p>Try $8.4 trillion and counting. This is unsustainable. I suggest you divert all your investments overseas and immediately stop buying treasuries. At US debt over $8.4 trillion and counting, they’re going to default eventually.</p>
<p>That’s manageable considering the size of the US economy. Other countries are in much worse shape in terms of public debt.</p>
