The US' greatest gift to Canada?

[ironsides]

Interesting situation. But I don't think it has anything to do with bigger over smaller. I would never call Canada a push over internationally. That FTA is creating its own problems in the U.S., most of us do not want it. But were being forced to accept it. (for now)

America is in retreat everywhere on earth. America has no choice but to become very close to Canada.

Yes Master.

You missed my point. Usa had tacken delivery of the lumber, when it came time to pay usa said no. Canada took them to court where canada won.Agian when it came time to pay it was no. The end ruslt was out of 5 billion worth of lumber the usa would only pay for 4 and that was that. My point is big powers such as the usa push their weight around and countrys like Canada have to take it. So when the opening comment is" gifts to Canada" I would like to point out that along with the gifts is the other side to living beside a giant.

Actually working for a lumber exporter to the U.S. I find we are generally paid in full and on time for our shipments.
Funny eh.

What would you say is the US' greatest gift to Canada?

I'd have to say jobs. U.S. companies like Ford, G.M., Chrysler, Boeing, Pratt&Witney, IBM, etc. have created thousands of jobs in this country.

But arn't they evil ?

But arn't they evil ?

Yup! Jobs are evil, created to keep people slaves to dept and the great American nightmare. That's why I retired at 26 from jobs and moved to the bush. Now that I about to turn 65, I can stop working for myself.

You are the one with a faulty memory. I have never lived in a tent or a hospital and I have not been on welfare except for the year after the accident in 1980. I am left to wonder what your motivation is for posting such BS.

What makes you think that?

America's greatest gift to Canada has been enduring friendship.

when you live beside a country thats at least 10 times bigger , its advisable to go with what they say
A tentative deal was reached in July, in which Canada got $4 billion of the $5.3 billion it lost because of the penalties with no additional tariffs to be imposed. Initially, there was a large opposition by several lumber companies from several provinces. However, during the following weeks the support, due to the possibility of no better scenarios, had increased and the Harper government was confident that there would be enough support for the deal so it would not be jeopardized. The government did not specify how many companies endorsed the deal nor did they implement a minimum for the deal to be salvaged.

Canada can not defend itself , Canada is too big and the population is too little. That said the canadian winter is usually a deterant, but we do have some nice lakes.

I'm quite certain they are confusing you with Lone Wolf. I guess it's the avatars.

Canadian loggers were paid, what does Harper have to do with it, does he want a cut?
