I'm becoming less and less fond of my government (U.S.) When I read stories like this, Canadians angered over Buy American, I am reminded of how inept my (U.S.) politicians really are. Bush 2 was a moron when it came to economics (see his anti-Canada and anti-capitalist policies) and it seems like the Democrats, under Madame Pelosi and Prez Obama, are no better.
Canada is a country of ~30 million people; roughly the same as California. We (U.S. Government) have disrespected them since our nation's founding and it is pathetic.
Solution: Absolute Free Trade. No restrictions on trade with Canada. Open our markets up to them with no strings attached. Treat them like our States trade with one another. Easy. Even if Canada continues to tax U.S. goods going into their country who cares. If we allow Canadian companies to ship whatever they want into the U.S. without tariffs or trade restrictions it would help all of us. It would lower the costs of goods that us middle class folks buy.
Reality: Our government is full of money grubbing retards. Don't look for my solution to come about any time soon.
It is definitely time for change. Real change. Not the fake crap we hear about on t.v. or the rhetoric coming out of Washington.

Considering the date of your post, I thought it would be about D-Day ;-)
LOL. Maybe it should have been.
