Thanks for the offer Blackie, but Canada isn't looking to support a derelict nation...

It would be the other way around. Britain would be supporting Canada by making it an English county. Canada which, let's face it, is nothing more than a pointless, frozen wasteland, would be vastly improved.

Maybe get your economy on some kind of decent footing and we can talk about offering you a place in Canada

It wasn't that long ago that Canada was regarded as an economc and fiscal basketcase, so we really shouldn't be taking economic advice from a Canadian.

It's the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne who's in charge of the British economy, and it's currently performing far stronger than Canada's. Remember, until 2008, Britain hadn't experienced a recession since 1991, unlike Canada, which experienced one in the mid-to-late Nineties.

The first step to your recovery is to face reality and stop making excuses.

Pretending things are different is like having a pretend Navy... It's a nice thought, but in the long run, it's an unhealthy fixation

Oh how the times have changed.

Take my advice Blackie and instead of wasting so much energy pretending otherwise, get to work - I mean actual work - and make a change.

That's the Canadian way

I'll say again: Please don't act as though you're something of an economics expert and lecture me on how our economy should be run, especially when Britain's economy is performing better than Canada's and the rest of the large Western economies. It should be us telling YOU how to run an economy.

If that were true, your unemployment rate would be lower than ours, but it plainly isn't.

That's why I offered.


We can send over a few bottles of this... It might help

Right right right. When you're at the bottom of the barrel like the UK the only direction is up.

If Britain is at the bottom of the barrel, where's Canada? We're outpacing the world whilst you head into recession.
