OT: U.S.'s #1 economic partner

Not from the no 1 partner of the US in the world economy.

(This isn't really aimed at you limtex, you just reminded me of it, and my wife is tired of hearing these rants.)

As a Canadian ex-patriate, this kind of thing triggers my nationalistic funny bone. The U.S.'s number one trading partner, by a huge margin, is Canada. I find it strange how Americans overlook this. It's as if they see Canada as part of the U.S., and therefore not in the conceptual category of "non-U.S." (yet, at the same time, Canadian economic figures are rarely added to the U.S.'s); or, Canada is so quiet and boring, that they don't feel the need to pay attention (which is probably a good thing for Canada).

So how are CDMA sales doing in Canada? What's the Canadian attitude to 3G standards? How will the devaluation of the C$ affect Qualcomm's earnings? Probably only northforce and a couple others know these answers (living in the journalistic autarky of the U.S., I have no idea myself), and yet the answers likely rank up there with their equivalents in S.Korea and Japan.
