Canada is one if not the only Country left n the world that can almost do with out imports from other Countrys, we have a large amount of resources, we could do with out anyone really, unless of course we like Bannas that much....We could Isolate ourselves and becomea super power and not share our shit with anyone.
You don't believe that, do you?
We'd have to change our diets big time, as many of the fruits and vegetables that we eat, cannot be grown domestically. We'd have to start designing and building our own automobiles. I don't think that the foreign car companies would allow us to continue building counterfeit models of their cars. And what would we do for computer technology? As far as I know, Canada does not manufacture processors or semiconductors.
Of course, there's also the downside of not being able to export anything that we produce. Could you imagine what life would be like if everything we bought was made in Canada? We'd be like the seven castaways on Gilligan's Island... No boats, No lights, No motorcar... Not a single luxury.
Oh, and good luck trying to get any hanky panky from the lady on anniversaries and valentines day... Diamonds and diamond rings? Just not happening in Canada.
And us poor canucks would be thoroughly entertained as our television programming went to 24 hour episodes of the Red Green Show... seven days a week. And how much Shania Twain, Nickelback, or Celine Dion can one Canadian stand before he/she gets the overwhelming urge to jam hockey sticks through their skulls. Hey, if you thought CanCon was bad at 35%, just imagine what Canadian radio and television would be like with 100% CanCon!!!
And you could kiss your Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler magazines good-bye too. Or any other great magazine that doesn't originate from the good old United Provinces of Canada!
What about clothing? Could you imagine what Canadian life would be like, if all of our fashions came from those companies that peddle shit on the Shopping Channel? I don't know about you, but I look just awful in those floral pattern slinkys... They clash with my moustache and beard!
Yeah, it would be good-bye luxury and hello adobe shack... We'd have lots of oil, but nothing to do with it... We'd have lots of beef, but no one to eat it... We'd have lots of corncobs, but no one to masturbate with it... We'd have lots of electricity, but nothing to power...
Life would really suck!!! Even more than it does already!!!
