Typical. While I can appreciate that the US spends more on their military that we do, it isn't just our lumber that makes us wealthy (if you want to call it that).

The US is quite happy to purchase our oil as well and I expect when your states start to dry out in the next 10 years (as the US geological survey predicts) you will also pay big for our water.

The real question is will we have the backbone to say "no" to the US water interest unlike our stupid position of US oil interests (see the NAFTA agreement).
