  • Making Canada Our 51st State Could Make It Easier to Buy American [View article]
    Well if your USD currency has any staying power and gets to par or better than the Euro dollar, then we can start talking.

    Why talk about Euro? well,
    1) presumption is the CAD would be along for the ride, thus also gain
    2) Euro is has gained considerably, so if you get back to 1:1 exchange, it will demonstrate strength (versus "E. dysfunction")

    How to do it?
    1) use your ingenuity to create robustnesss
    2) bring other economies down with you, but bring them down more
    3) whether domestic ('made in america') or imported ingenuity, it doesn't matter; quit making excuses, double-talk of wanting a strong dollar, and "just do it"

    The author is likely seeking controversy and to create publicity, but is presenting an idea presented on many occassions in the past the way to proceed?

    Is the author schooled in the ways of Ponzi schemes? and/or country-unions, like the European Union? The developed, mature, earlier members of the EU have sought to bring in the faster growth, developing countries/markets (the 'new investors'). The mature nations pocket easy gains from these 'new investors' who will take years to recover.


    What is the value proposition of the USA to Canada?

    USA offers ______ and in exchange receives _____. If the author would be so king to itemize in a list and provide an estimate of the value of each item, perhaps the picture would be more clear.


    Value please on technology that blows up everyone?

    Value added please on weapons of financial destruction?

    Value added please by USA's stimulus plan not even considering to fund the massive (approx same magnitude as entire TARP?) deficit of health care and pension systems ?
    Sounds good to say you have these social benefits. On the other hand, China does not offer much of a pension system, but don't cha ya think they could fund it with their surplus?

    By the way, for a rather smaller original population, Canada has grown, and made some important contributions www.canada4life.ca/inv...
