Columns: What USA thinks about Canadian Trade Relations and NAFTAPosted on Monday, October 17 @ 14:51:30 CDT by capebretoner
There was a link on FARK.com that really caught my eye. It was to a Yahoo News article about Canada looking to trade with China. China has a booming economy and needs a lot of the stuff that we, Canada, export to the USA. This includes minerals, oil, timber, etc.....
Now, I agree with a lot of the analysts that this is mostly postering by teh Martin government, however I was extremely suprised at some of the comments about this post. There were a number of people, I assume US citizens, that felt that this wasn't that big of a deal, and if they really wanted it they would just walk in to Canada with their huge military and take it.....
Is this really what people down south think? Do they really think that Canada, a country that has more guns per capita than the USA itself, would be that easy to take over? Now I am not getting defensive, but despite our underfunded military, Canada would be a much harder country to annex than Iraq. For one the terrain is larger and COLDER, two hockey players are tough SOBs and there are a lot of them, and three all wer would have to do is drink a bottle of Canadian Club and the fights would be legendary.
ANYWAY, here is the link to the FARK comments, read them and tell me what you think, do you agree with them? Or do you think that it is just a bunch of idiots that are super tough sitting behind their computers knowing that the people they are insulting are hundreds of kilometers away.
