Title: I like how Canada's political platforms are US policy

Maybe the ambassador shouldn't've said to not talk about US issues in their election, but what I don't understand is why they are doing it.  Maybe the lumber subsidies, that hurts their economy, but US policy on pollution & what not?...get over it.

& see, I knew the Canadian government fell last month

The US has caused us many serious problems this year.  There are people going into bankruptcy and losing everything they own because of US policies (fishing, lumber, cattle, etc.).  It's a major issue up here, and it is something that is important in politics.

Am I missing something? That's the same article, and Paul Martin, who's been our leader for 1 year and 2 days now, is still in charge.  There's an election coming up, which is the time when we vote for a new leader.. is that what you're talking about?

So Canada's economic problems are to be blamed on us now?...maybe they should find other ways of living.

Read Rule's post, please. He explains it much better. 

Is it a surprise to you that the economy of one country depends on the economy of the countries around it, though?

It doesn't surprise me, but maybe Canada should change something if they don't like how we practice trade.

Rule's post?

We do.  That doesn't mean that people who depend on the US for survival are going to be okay, though.

Yeah, I feel for the people, but maybe they should work harder/better/different to make their lumber money

It's still an important issue. 

And it's not only about lumber, especially while election campaigns are going on (which they are).
