it's that high? hmmm

where'd you get that number? i thought it was lower, but I could easily be wrong

I took the number from a talk radio host. If I remember correctly I think it was Sean Hannity...

Yeah, so disregard that number :P

Canada does rely heavily on the US for its economy, though, so I'm sure that a good relationship with the US is always in their best interest. Actually, I'm kind of curious about this now. I'm off to Google...

... and I'm back. I wasn't able to find a total percentile for Canada's economic dependence on the US, but I was able to find this:

Our trade surplus alone with the United States equals about 10 percent of the Canadian economy and our U.S. exports total well over a quarter of our economy,” McMahon continued.

If 25% (35% when you add the trade surplus) of the Canadian economy is just from exports to the US, that 80% total figure may not be far off.

Everyone knows that on the streets, Canada is the ho, America is the fine blinging pimp.

I understand the majority of you don't like bush, so MOVE TO CANADA, no offense to the canadians, Jonbo move just get the F* out. I mean how can your turn your back on your own countrys leader ? Sure he might not be right all the time but who is ? Your just against this war, AS AM I but I support any decision he might make because I voted for him as did the majority of america.

I mean you all bitch and moan like it's you fighting on the front lines, Your all like our boys are dying for oil.. **** that were fighting for another cause... If the commanding general thought that this war was a bad idea he can state an Illegal order and disobey
but he would go under a courtmarshal, BUT you all need to quit bashing bush.... It's seriously getting stupid at this point...

Oh and jonbo if you want to move to canada I'll help you F*ing pack. POS

Alright now, timeout. It's fine to express opinion but I can't allow direct name calling like that. It's against GameTavern conduct.

Besides that, indirect name calling is funner because what you say can be very creative and you can't get in trouble for it.

So, let's please refrain from turning this innocent prank into heated rage.

Consider yourself: Warn'd!

Ok, carry on.

Ok.

He can do what he pleases.

He can not like Bush. Its his opinion and choice. He can "turn his back" on your leader because he doesnt share the same views.

And as for the "move to Canada" thing.
Thats getting as old as "Bashing Bush"

Why not Mexico? England? Any other country seems plausable to me.

Ace195 · 12-03-2004, 08:53 PM

Because did you see the number of hits on the candian website when bush was re-elected, The only other place people in the US want to move is canada.. SO GET OVER IT...

I'd never ban you, I'm just trying to keep the peace.

Stonecutter has shut this thread down so let's use this as an opportunity to take a fresh breath of air and allow everyone a fresh start.
