The Canadian government is prepared to wield its "emerging energy superpower" might after talks with the incoming U.S. administration failed to "reassure" Canada that the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement would remain unchallenged. Canada also seeks to expand ties with other countries to reduce its dependence on U.S. trade, Jim Flaherty, the Finance Minister, said yesterday.

We have everything to have the highest living standards on Earth, and were well on the way 40-50 years ago, before this sellout gang got into power, and can work for it again, when they're kicked out and we get a Canadian, and not a foreign ownership pushing pimp government into power.
We have 3 large freezers for the 2 of us, full of the best organic foods and meats money can not buy. According to these economic masterminds we should sell it all and buy junk from the supermarkets, as Canada is doing now, with foods, etc. imported from China of all places.
This kind of idiocy can only make sense to politicians and economists.

Yeah but, Ed...where's the 'profit'.
Given current technology, Canada could likely do quite well without 'trading' with anyone; producing most of what its citizens need to live decent and fulfilling lifestyles. However, the internal markets aren't large enough to produce the level of 'profit' that many of the self-styled 'hard-workers' and 'innovators' feel should be their due.
If we aren't constantly importing 'high profit margin' goods from cheap labour countries and exporting our resources to 'trading partners', whatever will the 'profit' junkies do? What will reward their 'hard work' and 'entrepreneurial' and 'innovative' spirits?
LOL
