It's all a strategy to get us where it hurts until we bend over backwards for him.

On a related note, did you know that for the first time in history China surpassed Canada as the number 1 exporter to the US? That's a trend that's going to continue...
yeh i heard. i read that in the toronto sun and i was amazed.

i figure with careful scrupulation, it can hurt them in the long run. with more favour going to the euro, such extortion can only go so far. russia and china are right at our doorstep, and there are many third world countries that will gladly accept our medecine in exchange for even cheaper outsourced labour.

when canadians realise that, then the time will soon come when america begs for our resources back.

i read in a financial magazine about life insurance companies setting up shop in vietnam.
