That was quite profound Bert.....
"Canada by the way is nothing more than a bit player on the world stage."
I would say most of the 200 or so countries in the world are 'bit
players'... some bigger bits than others. Of course the US is 'Special'.
Would you have been considered a 'bit player' in the Reserves?

Ouch, that really hurt Don. Are you getting all defensive about living in
Canada?

Reality is that the US has about another 50 to 100 years on top, which you
convientlty snipped. Why didn't you keep in the part where I said the US was
going to be knocked off of the top by the new guy?

I have no illusions that the US will be on top for ever, it just doesn't
happen.
