U.s.a. Is Starting To Leave A Bad Taste

[damngrumpy]

The USA is supposed to be our friend yet in our over all history America is the only nation to attempt to invade us. Litlle by little, corporations and right wing politicians have been selling this country out and the people don't even notice.
Its time we went back to made in Canada policies, as solutions for our national problems. We must find new markets for our products and natural resourses, and we must find new places that will grow our food under contract, we must become far less dependant on America for our existance. We need a Canadian government and leadership with some guts to stand up to these people.

What you need damgrumpy is for Canadians to grow a pair of balls and stop whining. Federal governments don't drive the markets, the masses do. Successive governments since WWII have attempted to "diversify" your economy with Europe and Asia to no avail. You know why? There is no interest. If you don't believe me all you have to do is look it up.

American investements and corporations setup shop in Canada for one simple reason; You gobble up American culture and products by the hordes. There would be no incentive for American corporations to sell in Canada if there was no market. Which means, you have only yourselves to blame. If the American population is guilty of placing an idiot in the White House, then surely the Canadian population has something to do, with what you perceive as Canada's ills. Take responsibility for your own actions.

And btw, we invaded the British Empire and they provoked it.

Start a business that exports and sell only to non-Americans then. Don't wait for the government to do it.

The United Snakes has been leaving a bad taste for years, and not only with Canadians but world wide. Buskinski has just escalated it to an all time new level.

Thanks for that post...your exactly bang on!!! The only reason the U.S. is all over us is because we want them too. I'm sick of people chanting down with the U.S.A. while drinking a coke out of one hand while watchnig Survivor!!!

If you don't like it don't buy it....If you don't like where it comes from don't buy it.....but if you do then don't blame the Merchant!!

And yes we invaded the U.S...as did Mexico!!! so who surrounds who??

Sure, blame 911, but honestly it’s the politicians that have taken us here and it’s them I blame. We could have easily taken the high road in the face of 911. In beating the terrorists at their game we would have carried on proudly with our way of life on both sides of the borders. However now it’s the politicians that table pound to where it’s needed less and still are negligent in areas where security is needed most.

That is so true, and it's exactly how terrorism wins. The politicians for all their talk usually play right into their hands.
