Yes, but they don't like to admit they're economically dependent on the US. It hurts their feelings when you point that out to them , you know..
(Glad I don't live there anymore)

Canadians hate it when we say call them America's 51st State, but I do not say it necessarily in either jest or derision, because of this "SAT question for Federalists":
Canada is to the USA as
each of the United States SHOULD be to _________.
The answer is "the USA!" Canada is to the USA as each state should be to the USA.
In other words, whiny though Canadians may be, the USA does not boss Canada around, and we don't make them share power with (of all places) Massachusetts and its liberal Laurel and Hardy team (guess which Senators those are).
Why should Texas with 20 million people and the world's 10th largest economy and California with what, 30 million people and the world's 6th largest economy not live in a political environment which approaches sovereignty??? Why does Canada with 26 million people get to be sovereign and Texans and Californians have to let Barney and Teddy and Johnny from Massachusetts have a considerable say about how we do things?
The answer is not succession. We need the Union. The answer is reviving an appreciation for the limitations on the Federal government which are both our Constitutional and our God-given right!
Observe the 9th and the 10th amendments and bring power back to the each of the United States of America so the We the People can have the leverage and the power and the "turn on a dime" governments that are our birthright.
So when you think of our actually quite wonderful "51st state" called Canada, the only one that has the sovereignty intended by the Constitution for the other 50 states, be jealous of that, and think of the Great Big Teeth of the Great Big Federal Granny-Government and how We the People need to PULL those teeth with our sharp little 9th and 10th Amendments and bring those teeth back to each of our United States.
How's that for a Sunday night rant?
I am really mad at liberal Canada at the present but thats just not fair......to Canada lols
Good point!
While you weren't looking, Canada's population crept to about 35,000,000, the same as California's.
I knew someone would correct me so I dod not look it up. Thanks!
Canadians seem to be divided between those who have a conspicuous sense of humor and those who take themselves entirely too seriously.
Even after obtaining universal health care? How can we outsource leftists to the Great White North - eh?
Thanks. You'll note Kerry's ilk operates the same way today. Hussien was responsible for millions of deaths, over half a million of his own people at the minimum, during the Iraq Iran war. Despite this, hundreds of thousands of other tortured, mutilated and killed Iraqis, the invasion and occupation of one nation, and the attack upon three others, Kerry still thinks removing him was ill advised. Intead he and his fellow travelers love to mention the Iraqis that have been killed since we took Hussein out, as if that was worse.
Kerry will have a lot to answer for one day.
For starters, we don't want him. We have way too many of his type here already.
In addition, some may say that Canadians are whiny. Well, that's because the whiny ones are those that make the most noise. It's the negatives that always get noticed ... and remembered.
