when I think about Canada, the first thing that pops into my mind is usually that Canadian talking about how the U.S. would never get along without Canada. Usually citing our dependance on Canadian Oil, Softwood Lumber and Steel. Well I'll tell you this, everyone in the metalworking industry loathes Cnadian steel. I know that for sure and I suspect things would be a lot harder for the Canadians than it would be for us, if we did'nt get that lumber, steel and oil from Canada.

Also at the front of my mind is the ridiculously high taxes in Canada, and the health care system that they proudly proclaim is wonderful, and how us Americans are idiots not to have something similar. Well, IMO the Universal Health Care system is a great example of how NOT to do universal healthcare.

Theres a lot more, but I'll leave it at that.
