Time to Give Canada Some Respect-- Part 3

On the last 197 years.

**  Canada is the largest market for U.S. exports in the world, buying about 20% of our stuff.

**  Our bilateral automobile industry is leading the way.  Some vehicles cross the border seven times while being made.

**  Canada now supplies about 25% of the oil the U.S. imports and nearly 90% of our natural gas. (Judging by what I pay at the pump, I'd have to say they are getting wealthy.)

**  Canadian and U.S. militaries cooperate. A Canadian general directed the air defense of North America on 9/11 and nearly 300 American planes landed in Canada that day when American air space was closed.

**  Canadian troops had one of the toughest missions in Afghanistan.

**  One of the world's largest unmilitarized borders between the two countries.

Our Good Buddies, the Canadians.  --Brock-Perry
