Apparently the WTO did not agree with the US's assertion that Canada could not sue on grounds that it was America's Hat and thus had no sovereign rights to sue.

You know the USA has some of the toughest regulations on importing things and yet the government wants to have all these Free Trade Agreements. Play by the rules you make.

hasty ambush: There are friends and there are friends who have your back in a fight. But really, as somebody once said "countries do not have friends they have interests" and those interests can change.

Inasmuch as we are drifting further and further into implausible fantasy-land, an imperialist America that decides conquest by might is preferrable to other methods is a probable cause for another world war. It's not even that Canada has allies, it's that "If America decides to go after the Canadians, then nobody is safe!"

Moral and emotional appeals aside, given the vast natural resources of Canada owed to its massive geographic size and relative virginity, it is the best interest of every other nation to ensure that an actor of willing trade controls it. Any nation attempting to diminish or curtail that trade for personal benefit; any nation that performs the inverse of a trade sanction - such as America conquering for oil for domestic use - becomes an irrational global actor that works against every other country's best interest.

We shouldn't make trade harder for Canada, but screw Mexico. Despite NAFTA , getting NOM product certification for export to Mexico is a nightmare. After all the hassle in lining up the required "in country agent" (some Mexican has to get rich basically if you want to sell stuff in Mexico), then you have to start figuring out how to get POs from your company to pay what amounts to a bunch of bribes. And just when you think you have everything lined up, someone tries to hit you up for payment on yet more non-existent fees.

At least that was my experience 6+ years ago.

These are our friends:

www.sdheroes.com

We have been friends for over 200 years.
We are formerly the largest Empire in the history of the world.
We are 60+ countries and over 2 billion people.
We have participated in and won every major global conflict including both World Wars.
Above all, we recognize individual sovereignty and collective autonomy of our member nations.
That is why we are known as, quite simply, The Commonwealth.

Attack us, and 1/3 of the planet will instantly hate you, and the rest will take a day or two before deciding to hate you too.

Being a Canadian is a little strange these days.

We watch our neighbours to the south imploding. We see cops pepper-spraying peaceful protesters, we see a looming economic collapse, we see the country touted as being the most free being monitored by everyone from their government to Facebook. We see your citizens being bankrupted by an abscessed tooth. We see Americans shot dead in their own homes by cops raiding the wrong house. We see Americans incarcerated for life for having the wrong molecules in their pockets.

And we look about our own country and we wonder exactly what we're doing so right, and why America can't do it too. Toronto, a city of between 2 an 3 million people, had a murder rate in 2007 of 3.3 people per 100,000. Detroit had 33.3, Atlanta 19.7, Chicago 15.5, and San Fran 13.6. In 2010, Windsor, Ontario, a city directly south of Detroit, and just across the river, with a population of 215,000+, DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE MURDER.

Honestly, it's like having the front-row seat at a trainwreck. All we can do is put in earplugs and hope we don't get too splattered by the gore.

We don't need an army.

We can starve you with embargoes and we can bankrupt you through provocation. You import more than 2 trillion tons of goods every year (You have not have a trade surplus since 1975). All of this suddenly stops if you invade Canada. Your populace will not accept a catastrophic drop in their standard of living. Hell, Canada provides most of America's hydroelectric power, especially on the east and west coasts. Day 1: All the lights go out.

I love all these Canadians talking smack like they could withstand a US invasion. OK great, well I'm sure everything would work out because in our theoretical war you could turn our lights out and beg Britain to help you. As if war would be in the interest of either country, but no matter, I'm sure it's important in Canada to swing your dicks around once in a while to keep them from getting frostbite.

I've met quite a few Canadians and many of them are fairly polite, but damned if they are not some of the most arrogant, nationalistic sons of biatches from any country I've ever met. Many of them are afraid to be mistaken as US citizens, like we have f*cking leprosy or something. Personally I don't get totally bent out of shape about it.

Yes the US has plenty of problems, like any nation, yes we are aware that many of our problems are not small, but I'm glad I live here. I like the climate, I like most of the people, I like the choices. It's nice to know you think you are above that, that the US is imploding while you sit on a high cloud like some farking demigods and pretend problems affecting the US will not eventually affect you and your pocketbook. There are plenty of ways in which Canada and the US differ, but to explain them would exhaust this thread. Demographics and migratory movement play a large role. Where I live in the US, the murder rate is much much lower than the average in Canada. What does that prove? You can't pigeonhole a country based on its urban statistics.

Marvelling at how virtually the same culture has these vast civil differences in Canada's favour = arrogant and nationalistic.
Americans idly suggesting invasion of Canada for Canadians daring to have a spine = not more arrogant and nationalistic.

bdub77: I love all these Canadians talking smack like they could withstand a US invasion.

No one's saying Canada would withstand a US invasion. As a matter of fact, Canada would be absolutely pulverized, the WWIII equivalent of Poland.

But an invasion of Canada would spell ultimate ruin of the United States as a global power, as a country, and quite likely even as a culture.

Many of them are afraid to be mistaken as US citizens, like we have f*cking leprosy or something. Personally I don't get totally bent out of shape about it.

Let me explain to you why this is: A short while ago the CBC ran a contest to come up with a country motto equivalent to "As American as apple pie". The winner was "As Canadian as possible given the circumstances".

When YOU live next door to a country that has 10 times your population, and is politically, economically, socially and culturally dominant in every facet of contemporary living, you would feel a little bit of resentment too.
