I honestly cannot recall the last time I turned something over and it said "Made in Canada" on the bottom ...

(as for the comment, I was continuing the "ugly american" theme started above. I have a vague Idea of what a "soggy bint" is based on years of watching Monty Python's Flying Circus, and so decided to continue on in that vein.)

God that's ignorant.

In 2002, Canada supplied 16.5 percent of ALL the USA's imported goods and services.

We also bought 19 percent of all your goods and services.

We're a larger market than all the EU combined, and you sell three times as many goods to us as Japan, which has more than 4 times our population.

The trade that crosses the border between our two countries is 1 billion dollars. PER DAY.

You'd damn well notice if you suddenly lost 20% of your export revenue and 17% of all your goods and services disappeared.

Are we talking items produced IN Canada or moved through it?

This is direct trade, items which originate in either the USA or Canada, and their final destination is either the USA or Canada.

If you're asking me whether these numbers include somebody trucking a bunch of toys from Canada, through the USA to Mexico...the answer would be no, because no trade occurs between the US and Canada.

The same is probably true of Canadians looking for "Made in the USA" labels, but few would doubt that we are Canada's biggest trading partner.

1,630,000 barrels of oil each day from Canada to the US.

Each day. The only country we get more oil from is mexico.

Bah :mad: who needs oil anyway. be gone with your silly oil. and why the hell does a canadian's head have to split in half when they talk, anyway? ;)

Yeah man, what's that all aboot?

With their beady little eyes and flapping heads so full of lies...

"don't kick the baby"
"dammit ike, shut the hell up!"

You're all just pissed because we've been spiking the freshwater exports.

Don't be silly. US bottled water is US tap water in bottles. We'll laugh off anything you throw as us.

It was meant to be ... Ugly American Schtick, remember ...

Lighten up, people.

We Canadians are more serious than the Germans, didn't you know that?

I live with a Canadian and know it only too well. :rolleyes:
