My Thoughts On Canada

 First, if you asked most folks (Americans)....not from the northern tier region....they would admit they've never met a Canadian.

Second, I would take a wild guess.....more than 75-percent of Americans have never  crossed the border into Canada.

Third, if you asked a thousand Americans to name a product they buy/use from Canada.....other than Molsen Beer, or Crown Royal Whiskey.....they can't name anything.

Fourth, if you asked Americans to name a province (a state) in Canada....more than seventy percent would be unable to list one.

Fifth, if you asked Americans to name a Canadian sports team....the number one listed....would be the Expos....who haven't existed since the 1980s.

New Country Chatter

 In the past couple of days....the three most western provinces/states of Canada (Alberta, Manitoba and British Columbia)....started a chat over the idea of dissolving the relationship with Canada, and becoming their own state.

Blame?  Well....the election from the past week had odd results....majority of  voters in the three provinces....didn't vote for liberals.

In theory, the law allows for this....but it's not a simple process.

What happens if Canada breaks 'apart'?

This new western 'country' probably gets favored trading partner status with the US, South Korea, and Japan.

The remaining Canada?  I'd say they are in a difficult situation (economically), and will obviously become part of the EU....thinking they can fix things.
