It is beyond me that a country that has held and still holds much of the worlds vital resources needs outsiders to develop it's potential. It seems to attest to the fact that the "leadership" of this country has, ultimately, never possessed sufficient vision or fortitude to make this country what it could have been. To put it politely, Canada is for hire...... or rather sale. It's interesting how many posters demonstrate the mentality our leadership has inculcated. "Like father like son."

US: "Hey, look at this.... how can we turn this into a profitable business?

CA: "Hey look at this..... who can we sell it to?"
