We should use this as an opportunity. I've never understood why we don't try and squeeze the USA more. China is a market screaming for resources and out hunting for them all over the world as an example. I betcha they wouldn't be adverse to buying our "dirty" oil for instance.
Sure the US is the closest, biggest market but it's high time Canada became less dependent on them. Canada has good relationships with the likes of China and India. These markets are going to be so stinkin huge in the future. Canada should be making as many inroads in these markets as possible. 05-01-2009 02:05 PM

Yea.... lets get into a trade war and further remove ourselves from the biggest market in the world. The stuff we sell they can't get anywhere else anyway. That will show them. And besides we haven't been really trying to expand our markets, once we do that we won't need them anyhow. Besides China is a much more honest and reliable partner.
OK then..... Talk about getting into a war you can't win. The only other option Canada really has it to try to get into the EU and open up more trade with them. Also who is to say they don't get vindictive and tell the Chinese make deals with us and not Canada or we "modify" your trading status as well? Talk about the 600lb Gorilla....
