But, you guys, what does it mean? Are they amassed along the border with field glasses watching us? And what would they be watching for? They ‘distrust’ us. Umm, in what way?
Ping to post # 20.
What nation is the largest trading partner of the United States?
Canada: Leading the world in being just north of the United States since 1783.
But this is a poll of 1,018 Canadians and I still don’t know what they don’t trust us over.
Where is Canada?
If Canadians hates US so much, we may have a choice to close the borders and cut off our exports and have the dirty liberal Canadians starve to death.

I suggest you look at post # 30 and see how long we in the US would last without Canadian oil.
Idiot.
I live on the border. My Canadian Friends all realize Obama is ruining the country; and in turn it will also affect them;;; and they know it too. Most of my Canadian Friends are Athabaskan Indians & Halfbreeds but half their relatives are Alaskans. So I wouldn’t get on too much an anti-Canada kick. They are just like us, out in the west; they can’t wait till Obama is outta there too. Heck, where would Canada get all their nice guns from if Obama had his way?
Right above a pool of oil that is the most exported to the US.
Great post.
Foreign affairs and trade.
Well, I don’t trust their bacon!
It’s neither Canadian, nor particularly bacony.
Don’t know if you have been pinged to this thread yet ping.
LOL! Yes, and you forgot to mention Canada’s sound banking system (I have a few friends/acquaintances at TD). My remark was purely tongue in cheek, although metro Toronto is still filled with walking, talking feminine hygiene product.
