Miskealp! great links, the us is between a rock and a hardplace in so many ways, its our job to help our southerly neighbor out, perhaps this is why Obama's got us first on the list of visits. We can be and will be the provider of all they need. In reading the security doc. its easy to see the concern, should the countries in question ever want to put the screws to them so to speak.
As Herb lays out in his dream( which should be shown to all MLA's and courieered to the Prime Ministers office)we can make this a better place simply by not giving the banks another dime. For decades these ahole banks (canadian banks included) have reaped untold of profits on the backs of the little guy, time for change.
thanks for the links.
