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

Yes, of course.

But the majority of American banks are small time operations and usually don't consist of much more than one branch. There is nothing in the US that compares to the scale and availibility of the Big Five.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I love that I can go anywhere in Canada and find a Guichet Scotia.

Hell, I was in Mexico last year thinking "I need some cash..." only to turn around and find a Scotiabank ABM right in front of me. You can't beat that.

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)...

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)

We also do tons of research in medical and nano technologies. NINT is almost done!

(PS. TSX is only 300-600 points or so behind DOW. Still, I'm not sure if that's more of the US economy tanking or the Canadian economy rising...)

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

I like pissing everyone off, not just Canadians.

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

Thank you.

From now on you guarantee one of my votes in each election thread.

Damn you! My votes have been trending down towards zero. I might have dropped off the list altogether the next time around...

[notyoueither]

No, no, Drake. The topic is policies of Bush that piss people off. You bring up softwood, despite it not being a Bush policy (the disputes has been going on since sometime around Reagan, or maybe Carter).

Therefore you are a most deserving member of the Poly Hall of Fame.

Go away.

What sort of welcome is that?

[KrazyHorse]

A Canadian one.

[notyoueither]

I didn't see a hockey stick or take out of the knee.

It was more a limp-wristed Yankee anti-welcome.

[KrazyHorse]

There are two hockey sticks, 3 pucks and a Team Canada cap within 5 feet of me.

[notyoueither]

Then you need to come back for communion.

Your slap shot is a bit limp, no matter how much regalia you surround yourself with.

I feel so unloved.

[notyoueither]

Don't worry 'bout it. He is trying to sniff out if you are a wuss or not.

For my part, I'm sort of curious what brought you here.

I would bet $5 that you live in, or came from Calgary.

[cal_01]

You're off by about 300 km. I think that's a pretty big hint.

edit: I used to post on the Civ3 forums a long time ago (but forgot my screen name) and I'm now at the AC forums!

[notyoueither]

Oh no's, not another Edmontonian! The balance will be all discombobulated.

Where's cinch?
