So, at this year's annual World Economic Forum meeting in Switzerland, the United States trumped up the "Buy American" dogma. Canadian Finance Minister, Jim Flaherty, responded by pronouncing that American "protectionism" would be "met by resistance" by counties around the globe- but that Canada would not effect trade restrictions of its own.
After all, why should Canada stand in the way? They are the number one trading partner of this United States.
Although other countries fear the latest US evolution in its trade policy, Canada does not. And, it's all good- we need them. They need us. They ARE us. We are one and the same. Keep reading.
And, therefore, I say- let's get this charade out of the way already- and officially make Canada our 51st State.
Seems outrageous doesn't it?
