wrong. Our economy is the strongest in the world, EVER! with a GDP of $13.543 trillion, Canada's is ranked 14th with a GDP of 1.2 trillion, right behind Mexico.

the US housing market sucks, mortgages are out of control and people are hopelessly in debt from banks allowing them take out mortgages they cant afford.
wrong again. mortgage interest rates are at all time lows and if someone spends more then they earn, too bad, you reap what you sow, don't go crying to the government to bale you out.

secondly, who do you think is your main trading partner? open your eyes and you'd realize that there is a world outside of your tiny narrow minded conservative nutshell.
if you're going to make personal comments like that stop crying when someone does it to you, o.k.? yes, Canada is our #1 trade partner and far as I know we are doing a good job paying for those resources.

canada provides the US with staggering amounts of raw materials, for both building projects and power consumption. Without us, you americans would be struggling hard, yet your presidents seem to think canada can be treated like shit and throw tariffs on our softwood lumber and basically drive entire communities out of work.
true again it's a mutaully beneficial trade otherwise it wouldn't exist. I do not know of any of the presidential canidates running on a platform for higher tariffs, fill me in on that if I am wrong.
