BUSH SUPPORTERS: I want you to tell me some of bushes executed policies you support

[curtsibling]

If his admin would thwart the dangerous dictators, rather than merely
share Jacuzzis with them, and if he was not a ultra-religious android...

I reckon I would have no other problems with supporting Junior.

This should be a poll.

For a poll, one needs options.

Err. How on earth is this a good thing? The soft-wood lumber ban hurts the house-builders more than it helps the US forestry industry.

You have to understand Drake to understand that post. He just likes pissing off Canadians.

Hey, didn't you here they're clearing palm trees in Tampa to build houses? We don't need no Canadian wood!!

Just kidding, after all, Canadians helped build four-fifths of my house by selling their trees...

I'm curious, what other major industries does Canada have, as all I have ever heard about is timber and oil, and I don't even think there is that much oil in Canada (but I could be wrong)...

Are you serious?

Yeah, basically anyone who supported his invasion of Iraq has been made to look like a prize plonker...

Tons of oil. We're the US' biggest foreign supplier of oil. Also natural gas and hydro power
Pulp and paper industry (related to the timber industry)
Agriculture (livestock, grains etc.)
Fisheries
Trains, planes (Bombardier) and automobiles (multinationals)
Telecommunications, robotics, other high-tech
Aluminum processing in Quebec (raw material comes from Carribbean)

[Kontiki]

Not to mention other minerals (nickel, coal, potash, diamonds, among others)
Sizable international banking and insurance industry

[KrazyHorse]

Yeah. The Canuck banks have really been taking over down South recently, haven't they...

Yeah, because most US banks are very very small operations. The "big 5" have no problem taking them over.

[KrazyHorse]

Bank of America has the market cap of all the big 5 combined, though.

Might even have enough left over to buy the medium 2...

[Dinner]

Citi Corp is huge as well.

[KrazyHorse]

Citigroup market cap is actually slightly larger than BoA

But BoA is more of a small-consumer bank than Citigroup is, which seems to be heavier into corporate **** (at least that's my impression)

The big 5 Canadian banks are somewhere in between. Their investment services divisions are the things showing the most growth as they expand into the US as brokerage firms and such.

I liked the import restrictions on soft-wood lumber.

You actually caught a canuck with that hook, even if it is a DL. My hat is off to you, sir.
