That friend you don't really like but they pay you to hang out

Canada's main trading partner, almost sole trading partner is the United States.  Our economies are so closely linked, wem use the relatively the same currency which hover around the same mark from day to day year to year.  We use the same sizes for clothing and shoes. We have the same products but we have French labels on ours, making trade of these products impossible.  This though preserves our French heritage and culture.  We have the same MNC controlling us.  When the US stock market crashed in 2008 the entire world economy slowed down, almost stopping.  Canada did experience set backs, mostly in our auto industry because they're so linked with the U.S.
Canada survived the recession most than more countries because we are pretty independent.  Canada can never distance it's self from the United States enough.  As a country you should never be dependent on another.
Canada is already ensalved under the foreign rule of England politically so why do we need to be economically under the U.S.?
If the United States asks Canada to do something there is a very big chance that it wil be done.  The Afghan war is the number one example of this.  They asked us to go into Iraq too, and Vietnam. Thankfully Canada stood up enough to escape the 2 worst conflicts the United States have ever been involved in.  But we still went into Afghanistan.
Most Americans also refuse to aknowledge that the Canadians burnt their white house down during the war of 1812, we also accepted they escaping loyalists during their Revolution and their draft dodgers during the Vietnam war.
Canada will always be Americans little friend that gets brought into so much stuff that they don't want to.  America's hat

The United States are starting to lose they're super power status, in the near future it will completely disappear.  Brazil, China or India will pick up the torch and our world will serverly change.  The world we have grown to know will fall away and will be no more.

Each nation of this world must become independent with out bondage to any other nation.  Each nation must stand up and demand that they be themselves.
