Believe whatever you want. I have already said I have watched enough of FOX to give me the shytes.
Oh, canada - from an american perspective.

This is the dumbest thing you have written yet.
News to you: I live in Toronto but was born in the (calgary), I have traveled extensively out west and I still have family out west and surprise, with time-shifting, I can watch just about any station from the west. You on the other hand, I would be surprised if you have ever left your province, or your village for that matter.
There are many different opinions about Canada in the USA. But frankly, the vast majority of citizens of the USA never think about Canada at all. The entire country is roughly equivalent in population to California, and it's economy is SMALLER than California's.
I think about Canada fairly often, but i have family in Canada, half of my family roots are in Canada and I am a dual citizen of Canada and the USA. But most of the people that I talk to about Canada know virtually nothing about the country, and they simply don't think about it unless something big happens up there.
Ontario builds more cars than Michigan? So what, Michigan is NOT the center of auto production that it once was in the USA. More cars are manufactured in Kentucky and Tennessee than are in Michigan. In fact, several states manufacture more cars than Michigan does.
The comparison of Provinces to States is based on a very faulty premise. States are essentially nothing like the Provinces. You have the right to withdraw from the Canadian Confederation, the States can NOT withdraw from the USA (that issue was settled by the US Civil War). The individual states do not have the inherent powers that the Provinces do. The entire structure of government is very different in Canada than it is in the USA.
Right now, the economy in Canada is booming. But, not all that long ago, it was booming in the US, and not doing so well in Canada. These things run in cycles, and it will change again.

That's just because it suits your prejudices. Personally I find life much more pleasant without blustering ignorant savages like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck in it.
Please remember that the Liberals when they were in power, minority were going to let the banks go the same way. Lucky it did not make it. Our own backyard is not so clean as some may think.
Some people say....
Outfoxed: Fox News technique: "some people say" - YouTube
....it's propaganda.

For all our US neighbors, I most certainly hope it does turn around. Oh, and we are not exactly 'booming' up here. We are getting by nicely for the time being - but thanks for the thought.
Fair enough, Goober........but the fact is that the laws remained on the books and we did avoid the banking catastrophe. Thanks for the history lesson though.
Not a problem friend - But we did come close to a disaster. Think CIBC and research all the fiasco's they have had while the Chairman and others walk away with millions.
CBC British Columbia and CBC Alberta are the mouth of Toronto? That's pretty amazing.
I could care less about the CBC but your whole "eastern bias" hysterics is so freaking stale and old. Can you not come up with an intelligent reason to get rid of the CBC? The budget perhaps or a government monopoly?
No, you got it right on. That is CBC's mandate alright.
Too bad all Canadians can't decide what CBC's mandate should be, given that all Canadians pay their wages!!
Ummm Is Texas not one state that is allowed to separate?
Isn't that where the Lone Star comes from??
Just asking!!
Public. Stock of NewsCorp is public, not private. The content isn't really what matters, it's the top and bottom lines.
I've no idea, but taxslave asked what it is, so there's the official answer, make of it what you will. I gather you don't listen to CBC Radio much, or you'd know that's one part of the mandate they're actually doing a pretty good job at.
Like Jack, your extreme right wing bias blinds you to anything left of your position. Although I don't listen to CBC, I know a lot of people who do, so they obviously enjoy a little culture in their lives. Raging against everything you disagree with will only lead to an early grave.
Just saying.
