David, as you know many US companies own mines and oil wells in Canada. Such companies don't want to sell for less than the market price. So US capitalists won't be united on a "make Canada sell for less" campaign. At present the possibility that the US would invade Canada is there but I think it's not yet a serious threat. Further down the road we will see how the right wing consolidates its control south of the border.

Canada must and is, in some sense, diversifying away from the Homeland, just as Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, and a lot of other nation-states are doing. I figure. You see, a Noranda sale to MinMetals would be a good thing, a wakeup call, a strike for independence :0) The US Dollars is a serious short in China now, and they are hoping the Japanese, for the sake of Sake2Bottles and Wang3Cups and Joe6Packs, will hang tough on defending the USD just a bit longer ;0)
