Please do get me wrong fanfan. I should have said "economic place" rather than just "place". Canada is one of our top ally in the world and as an American I greatly appreciate that Canada is fighting on our side in Afghanistan against the terrorists and Canada is sacrificing blood treasure in this war. Our economic relation with Canada is stronger than any relationship we have with other nation on the planet in fact the US-Canadian trade is larger than any trade between any two other nations on the plant.

However what is wrong with saying that Canadians should know their economic place compared to the US? The US GDP is almost ten times that of Canada. Also Canada is a socialist welfare state, not as bad as Europe but still a socialist welfare state.

First of all, that is not what you said, is it? Second, the US GDP is almost 10 times bigger than ours because your population is 10 times bigger.

Also Canada is a socialist welfare state

Hmmm. Seems to me that 47% of Americans pay no income tax, and 32% of Canadians pay no income tax, but you figure we are more socialist? Right.
