Allegiance is based on group identity and interaction
Why not trade only within their province then? Or their town? Or their neighborhood? Or their family?
Commerce quickly collapses under this regime. That border between the US and Canada and the US and Mexico is really an artificial contrivance, a legal fiction.

Suppose the US refused to trade with Canada and Canada with the US? Would either be better off?
Not hardly. Much worse off. We are each major trading partners.

As to the latter: you have already scampered with your skirts raised up high some years ago. I always suspected you would try it again with sports bras...
Just tell us when you desire to have the rematch.

Oh, those maple flags? Throw them away. You won't need them anymore.

God, did we kick your pink asses. But we have never gloated...<g>
Ha ha ha. Just tell us the date of our next war with Canada. We'll be there.

That is not what I said. I said: (quote)--"I was speaking of mutual deal making"
Which means?

What nonsense. I was speaking only of "INTELLIGENT sharing". By definition, it does not refer to any sharing that was ignorant and stupid. Of course, if you believe that ALL sharing is stupid...well, that is your right.
Were we not here to keep the Canadian economy going. you would have frozen to death long ago.
