      Will Canada Last?

      Posted by Shemuses from The Tyee

      What will it take persuade Canadians that if they do not act soon to reverse the course of their nation, there will be nothing left to save? I am talking, of course, about so-called "deep integration" and its official expression, the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP).

    • 1 Declaration: Energy Partisanship: How to Resolve the Problem

      Posted by scottkeiser

      Energy has become one of the most divisive issues on Capital Hill today as Americans are pleading for a solutions to the high gas prices that are dragging down the US and global economy. Democrats and Republicans cannot seem to agree on an appropriate course of action. Democrats have been duped by environmentalists claiming global warming will kill us all or the caribou in Alaska or some other species will be devastated by drilling. Republicans seem to totally neglect the need for research into other alternative sources of energy claiming drilling will solve all our problems.

      Could it be that both sides are right? Without a doubt.

    • Squawk Box Guest Warns of $12-15-a-Gallon Gas

      Posted by Damianmann

      It may be the mother of all doom and gloom gas price predictions: $12 for a gallon of gas is "inevitable." Robert Hirsch, Management Information Services Senior Energy Advisor, gave a dire warning about the potential future of gas prices on CNBC's May 20 "Squawk Box". He told host Becky Quick there was no single thing that would solve the problem, due to the enormity of the problem.

      In other words...BUY A SCOOTER

    Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,

    First of all have you ever been to Madrid or London. Al Qaida will kill any Jew, Christian or Hindu they run across and then reload.  A border is not a good defense system for terrorism.  Second, the war and the value of the dollar have weakened us. It is just peculiar that it wasn’t Jimmy Carter who did it to us this time. Third of all the US owns the Stanley Cup (ever been to Detroit ?).  Forth where is Robert Rubin when we need him most !

    I’m not sure how’d they feel about adding themselves to the top Al Qaida target list, taking on our ginormous deficit and having to wipe the floor with us on Friday nights in hockey.

    One thing I don’t understand is if America is such a great country – why our currency has lost 1/3 of its value in the past 7 years against the Canadian dollar? Anyone? Anyone? My American buck used to be worth $1.55 CDN and now it’s barely even (on a good day).

    You’re entitled to your own opinion (if you’re civil) but not your own facts.

    Ever heard of the European Union..  Its an economic agreement between countries that have a lot less in common than the US and Canada..  It just makes more sense that a junior varsity country like Canada get real and join a real one.

    Every so called country that borders the United States to the north, would have been part of the United States if we were not busy fighting the British, shares a common Western European culture and (mostly)language…. why not….

    Your "logic" eludes me.

    Should every country smaller than California become another U.S. state?
