Well our liberal immigration laws are a huge contributor to our economic stability. Plus, I don't think the immigrants from the U.S. would be illegal per se; it depends.
If things do go quite to hell, we tend to be kinder to refugees than many. Though there are currently attempts to deport U.S. war resisters and their families. Of course, there are no guarantees.
At any rate, Canada's recovery will sync somewhat with the U.S. recovery. If the U.S. recovery is strong, I have little doubt that Canada will be vaulted into the top ranks of GDP in the G8.
