So then, what you are saying is that Canada benefits more from the relationship with the US than its costs to Canada. That being the case, then stop complaining. Brian

Me complaning about Canada benefiting from economical and political ties with U.S ?

I hope this was just a joke on your part. Otherwise it would be hard to comprehend how any Canadian would not like $50 to $70 billion dollars annual donations from U.S consumer to our standard of living (average trade imbalance in last decade).

Just wonder, which part of my post suggested that I was complaining?

BJ :more autos coming from the US to Canada than the other way

Over last decade Canada was manufacturing 1 to 1.2 millions cars per year. 250,000 new cars are sold to Canadians. The reminder (+/- one million) goes to U.S.

Shi,

Thanks for good humour or sarcasm if you will.

Spidy,

The only think I can say is sorry. Actually you are guilty as much as the rest of us ... but on the other hand this is good diversion from the negatives related to CLL.
