Jag, why do you care so much about what the politics are in another country?
I would be hard pressed to name ANY Canadian politicians except Brian Mulroney.....
Is there something?
OK, now that I've relieved a few frustrations... I care because no man, ...and no country is an island.
The USA is Canada largest trading partner. If the USA tanks, ....it pulls Canada down with it.
Fortunately, we are forging our own free trade agreements with India.
As for the USA, I have a lot of financial interests in the US as well as friends, family etc, etc.,
My income is earned in US dollars, and when you have a head of state with his head up his anatomy and 1 foot in the grave, I, as a responsibile citizen of the world, need to keep my eye on the situation so I don't get caught with my pants down.
