LOL America does own canada, we are the only reason canada is around, we threw out the brits, we gave canada the trade they needed(still do) and as far as your nice job and free healthcare, why do you think canadians are flocking to the US for treatment? Your healthcare system sucks, you have the state deam weather or not you shoul dbe treated if you live long enough to get to the front of the line. The only reason why America is in this world wide reccession is because
A: our currency is the standard for the world,
B: our government tried to enact socialist housing policies kind of like what the canadians have with our subprime markets, and everyone knows that as far as America is concerned that is the only real cause of our reccession. Now as for the 10 trillion in debt the socialists that got elected have caused, well... we will get through this too because that is what we do, that is why every country on earth looks up to us because we are the rock of the world, we are the glue which keeps this world together, if not for us there would be dictators and massacres in every country by now, just look at history and how many times the US has stepped in and helped small/developing countries, kind of like when we through out the brits and let canada develope off of our trade we give them.
