Marcos,

Things sure have changed since this thread started! Back then the US dollar was riding high, and the Iraq war was just a gleam in the cold steely eyes of the Neocons.

Now Canada is in the "catbird seat" regarding energy, and the US clownbuck is cratering. Thanks to the unstoppable Loonie, Canucks will get to loaf around and clip energy dividend coupons while the rest of the world rushes to wait on you guys hand and foot. Ya'll will have plenty of time for hockey, curling, hunting, fishing, hanging out at Tim Horton's, etc.

Canadians are already driving south across the border to shop, and BC pot exports are being undercut by cheap US and Mexican dope. Soon, a flood of poor Gringos will be sneaking north to do your laundry and pick grapes at fancy Okanagan wineries owned by rich oil barons from Calgary and Edmonton.

Sorry, we won't be needing much lumber from you for a while. We already have a ten-year supply of vacant houses. You might as well pack your axe and chainsaw in cosmoline for the duration.

Canada will become one of the new multi-polar powers, and buy a couple of used carrier battle groups from the USA to patrol the newly ice-free Arctic Ocean against the menacing Russkies.

Have I about covered it?

;>)

P.S. I've chatted with Koan once or twice. I think he's from Southeast AK, which we regard as almost another state. <g>
