<Of Canada's total exports approximately 86% goes to the United States. Of the total U.S. exports approximately 23% goes to Canada. Of Canada's total imports approximately 76% comes from the U.S. Of the total U.S. imports approximately 19% comes from Canada. Who needs who? You don't hear U.S. officials calling Canadian officials names. Canada's immigration, refugee and visitor policy is terrible. Your "open arms policy" lends itself to abuse and terrorist entry that filters down to the U.S., and Canada has shown that it doesn't give a sh*t! As for Cuba, Canada is Cuba's largest trading partner and Canadians comprise the bulk of Cuba's tourists to Cuba. It is Canada that wants to to buy and invest in property in Cuba that was once U.S. corporation's property that became nationalized property under Castro. These, among other things, is why I consider Canadians Cuban lovers. > America is more than 10 times the size of Canada. Quoting percentages is meaningless. Both countries need each other. I'm sure there are many U.S. officials that call Canadians names. The incident you're referring to was dumb and regrettable on her part but in the world of the media it seems they lost all respect for their own profession as for where the comment was made and how it was made it should have remained off the record. There are many Republicans and Democrats and others around the globe (including myself) that believe the best way to oust Castro is to flood Cuba with capitalism. America is slowly wising up to this and has started limited trade with them. Don't get yourself in such a tizzy over the spoils of war. Property and valuables have always switched hands after such events.
