years ago they said they wanted it to be one great north ..this meaning USA and Canada joining..
and for the difference between them for me its the health care and tax's
Canada its free but in USA they have to pay ..
now for the dollar this is good for Canada due to the more lower we are we loose on free trade deals where its higher our stock is in higher demand..
like our wood and grains ..other country's relies on our foods and stuff ..where in the china and stuff we need them for clothes ..USA has foods and wood , materials for homes...we do need USA for the army due to Canada's is weak thanks to Diefenbaker getting rid of it long time ago ..so we need every part of the world to live regardless where u are from...
