What, exactly, do we need from Canada?? What natural resource , manufacturing, or technology do the socialists up north possess??

French Honker Nasal Spray? I think their only US customer is Bill Maher. Or perhaps Jeff “My Crooked Honker Needs a Crowbar Realignment” Flake.
Oil, natural gas, Ford Pickups and auto parts, potash, aircraft & parts, gold & lumber are the biggest imports in order according to a search I just did on the Google.
Most of the oil goes to the west coast refineries. The Keystone pipeline was all about reducing the cost of bringing Albert heavy crude oil to the refineries in LA & TX that have excess capacity to refine this type of crude oil. I personally would rather buy Canadian oil than Venezuela or Saudi Arabia, etc. Same with natural gas.
I think most Ford F series trucks are made in Windsor, ONT.
I drive a Tacoma made in San Antonio.
Apparently, most of the potassium chloride(potash) we use in the country for fertilizer comes from Saskatchewan.
Bombardier makes a lot of commuter airplanes. Small jets and turboprops. I think they also make skidoos, atvs, etc.
We import a lot of Canadian softwood lumber. As a lumber broker I can attest to that.
Massive amounts of wood. I think coal too.
We may have huge amounts too, but the end game is having your neighbours deplete their resources first.
Well, IMO, they do have the best tasting walleye.... ;-)

As an aside, I would guess that in many instances Canadian regs & such are as bad or worse than ours... Maybe someone more knowledgeable can comment further.
