[droolymutt]

We need to be more discriminating about who we let into our Country....







Oh well... - I guess we should try to be diplomatic about this...

Co-operation has produced tremendous benefits to both nations: in 2003, two-way trade in goods and services surpassed $441.5 billion, making the U.S.–Canada trading relationship the largest in the world.



In 2003, the U.S. sold $195.8 billion worth of goods and services to Canada and received $245.8 billion worth of goods and services from Canada.



37,000 trucks cross the border between the two countries each and every day. 58% of these cross at only five key border crossings — the Ambassador Bridge, Sarnia, Fort Erie, Lacolle and the Pacific Highway.



Since 1989, when the U.S. and Canada implemented the Canada–U.S. Free Trade Agreement, trade between the two countries has accelerated, more than doubling from $192.4 billion to $441.5 billion in 2003.



Canada has been the leading destination for U.S. exports since 1946! From cars to computers — Canada buys more goods and services from the U.S. than any other country in the world. One-fifth of all U.S. exports went to Canada in 2003.



Thirty-seven states count Canada as their number one foreign customer; Canada is the most important destination of exports for most of the states along the border as well as the northeast and central U.S., and as far south as Missouri and Georgia. Twenty-three states sent more than one-quarter of their exports to Canada in 2003.



Since the implementation of the Canada–U.S. Free Trade Agreement in 1989 and the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994, there has been a dramatic increase in two-way interdependence between the two economies.



U.S. exports bound for Canada more than doubled between 1989 and 2003, from $79.9 billion to $169.8 billion. Over the same period, U.S. imports from Canada increased from $89.9 billion to $226.9 billion.



In 2003, merchandise trade accounted for 86.7% of total U.S. exports to Canada and 92.3% of total imports from Canada.



Canada provides close to one-fifth of U.S. imports used in the production process or directly consumed. Nearly 60% of U.S. wood and paper imports came from Canada in 2002, despite the softwood lumber dispute between the two countries.



These trade numbers are due, in part, to the high degree of integration between Canadian and U.S. industry. Over 40% of U.S. trade with Canada is intra-firm, that is, trade occurring between parts of the same firm operating on both sides of the border.



The automotive industry is a prime example of this integration: every vehicle assembled in North America now contains nearly $1,250 of Canadian-made parts.

[droolymutt]

Yeah.



Gotta give him that.







Still.







I'm glad he's left our Country now.







I respect tolerance and understanding, but I still feel better when we don't have terrorists (Bush) here.....





Just curious, Chris....? - How would you feel, what would you do, if Bush were to visit, and try to exert his venomous influence, in Hong Kong?





(Not trying to fight -just curious about your view....)

[droolymutt]

You know...?





It comes down to a curious thing....







How far should tolerance and understanding go...?









Far enough to allow Evil people to hurt innocent people?





Hmmmm....



I don't think I want to be that tolerant.

[bbchris]

I'd be impressed if he came to HK! It'll be interesting to see how his 'talks' with the Chinese leaders go. Do you think he's got the balls to visit China?

hahahaha......!

[droolymutt]

Well, yes, - it wouldn't surprise me if thinks he has the "balls" to visit China.





He's from Texas - they all think they have big balls there.







But if he does visit HK...?





His vacuous brain and loud mouth would embarrass him.







Well - he's doing just fine on his own turf....

[droolymutt]

This is when I started loving China....

[droolymutt]

Hey.





I just found a picture of Bush's "balls"











..













hahahahaha............!

[The Master68]

What, Drooly? You mean you weren't getting any Bush before?





And in a related news story, I'm not sure the editor put much thought into this headline about lesbian celeb Rosie McDonnell (a frequent Pres. Bush critic):

[DreamTone7]

"...a proud stand for gay civil rights..."



What this really speaks of is the right to destroy something that others hold sacred...namely, marriage. I'd hardly call that a civil right.



...and now, back to your regularly scheduled "programming" (literally).
