    I'm okay. The land where I live is still there.

    Sadly, so is Toronto.

          Go on post silly remarks, but at least, dont get all Dinodoc on me, be original.

          So, the thread is about a fantasy world where Canada disappears from the face of the earth. Like, poof! It vanishes in a second. Back to original nature.

          What would the world be like after that? Would it really make a difference?

          I dont see how it would alter anything by much. Except for the oil industry, the US would rush up north to gather all it can, competing with russia most likely. With France complaining and whining and doing nothing. Brtis would support the US bacwards since it was once their land....

          And, no, I am not high.

          We have Alaska right there, and the whole blue water navy thing, so Canada is ours at that point.

          Indeed, the combination of a very deep recession in the US, oil prices spiking even higher than now, and a spike in grain prices, PLUS the loss of Canadian demand for products from places other than the US, and I think we've got the formula for a global recession at the minimum.

          Does that make the Canadians feel better?
          Well, conversely, our trade deficit shrinks by about 50 Billion per year with the loss of Canada. There would be an initial shock from the lost population and infrastructure, but in the long run that would fade.

              The thing that amazes me is that Spec actually knows that a place outside the U.S. exists.

                        I read your post in the other thread just after writing that and laughed.

                          I'd say SNL gets less funny... but I don't know if that can happen.
