What exactly is Canada's place in the world?

Oh well, that's all part of the "relationship" thing in Japanese business. Very strong. I lived in Yokohama, a big port city south of Tokyo. Used to see lots of Russian freighters just loaded with 4 or 5 yr. old cars strapped to the decks in every available little space, bound for home. The ship's captains had the right relationships and could easily get as many cars as they could handle.

I also believe the time is right for a new auto brand...in fact, a new auto for Canada. Depressed times can be the right time for big changes...

That's what makes Canada Canada. Relationships are much less important here than in Japan. In Japan you can't give away your money sometimes. Which is why so many people want to live in Canada, it is very free. Asia and Africa are not free, they are bound by tradition and we need not get tied up in knots worrying about minor issues.

Today, i bought a car from a used car dealership run by Iranians. Canada's place in the world is just to be Canada, and that's fine. We need not justify our existence to anyone. :wav:
