We are by far your biggest trading partner because without the biggest country in the world in your pocket...you really don't have shit. Neither the US noe Canada is the largest country either in area or population (although Canada gives the area thing a good try). I assume you mean "biggest economy". So you think Canadians buy US products just to butter up Americans? Not because they are easily available, cheap, and good? Really? So why would a Canadian buy a Chevy if it could get a better Japanese car at half the cost? Just to make Americans like them? Why don't I believe that? Uh, you can work that the other way too: Why do AMericams buy Canadian products? Because they are good and cost competitive. Actually, I think business attitudes figure in here too. On both sides of the border, there is often a feeling that it is safer dealing with the neighbor than some guy in Asia you never heard of.
