There is A LOT of really high quality Pennsylvania coal JUST across Lake Erie and the Yanks there would be doing jumping jacks if we wanted to buy it, again.
Not a crumb of BC coal would or has made it's way to "The East".
Thats because it is mostly coking coal. You clowns shut down all your steel mills because they provided real jobs for real people.

If the Danes are really so offended...................................

SELLING ALASKA to Ottawa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Akaska already belongs to Canada. All part of the Hudson Bay co. agreement.Russia never had the right to sell it to the yanks.

Depends on who you ask. I once read an article that said some chief gave the rights to all lands to where the sun sets to the crown. WHich would make the ruskies squatters.


The Gentleman Company of Adventurers of the Hudson`s Bay....................................


were granted a charter by the English King...........................................


I think it was James the 2nd................................................


that gave the Company the EXCLUSIVE RIGHT...................................


to trade for furs in all lands....................................


whose waters drained into Hudson`s Bay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That took in about 1/3 of North America!


Neither Alaska nor B.C. have any waters that drain into Hudson`s Bay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Its that "continental divide thing that is in the way................................



also known as Rocky Mountains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You all can discuss the validity of an English King giving out such a charter.................................


over lands he has never seen and does not actually own..................................


after you have a look at where western rivers flow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We shut down our steel mills because pieces of shit Americans came up here, bought them, then shut them down. I guess that we were a bit too good at making steel in Canada.

"We" did for decades. Then all sorts of incentives, "guarantees", crap piled on crap were paid out so the US Steel would keep Stelco going but, no. It was like Kraft buying up all of the thousands on independent cheese factories in the 60s and shutting them down do that they had a monopoly on their muck.

Did you step up ? Why didn’t you save them ? All you needed was the money , sh-t you probably could have raised enough in a single block in your rich neighbourhood.
