The war was a stalemate. Good thing for Canada...were it part of the
USA, it would be going down the crapper right now, too.

The economy is *booming* in most Canadian provinces. Look at their buck, it's
pulling up to within sight of the almighty Yankee dollar. And it has been the
Loonie coming up, (as much as the dollar going into the dumper because of our
hare-brained management of the federal budget, deficit, and general economy)
that is accounting for the dramatically narrower gap in the currencies.

Gotta watch out for them "socialists", eh?
(insert grin here) They're currently doing very, very well.
