If Canada isn't feeling the financial heat right now, that means one of two things: either you are already bought and paid for or you are just being kept in reserve.

So you've joined the ranks of the out to lunch conspiracy theorists? The reasons for our economic strength are simple and open for anyone to see. A regulated banking system, strong financial sector, and the resources of the second largest country in the world ... and that basket case, Russia is the first. As our PM told Obama recently, concerning the US's balking at the building of a pipeline from Western Canada to the Gulf: if the US doesn't want our oil, then China and Japan will be more than willing to buy it.
We will build our pipeline whatever ... if it doesn't go to the Gulf, we'll build it to Vancouver. Fact is, we are already the largest supplier of offshore oil to the US ... they like it that way because of our political and social stability ... we are also their largest supplier of uranium and potash ... and their largest customer for their Lockheed F-35 fighters. We will have some sort of recession ... people will buy less of what we have in abundance; but they can't buy none of it ... they need it. We hardly felt the last global meltdown. Obviously Europe and the US can't fix their economies ... it will hurt us some; but, as with the last mess, we will survive better than most.
Contrary to popular belief in the rest of the world, we do not kiss American ass .... we leave that up to people like Tony Blair ... Remember the joke: "What's 6 inches long and hangs down between GW's legs? Ans. Tony Blair's tie."
WMDs anyone?
