Thanks America, what else is new ?

Canada, blacklisted again

You can set your watch to it.

The inclusion of Canada on the U.S. Trade Representative’s annual “301 Priority Watchlist,” ostensibly a blacklist of the world’s 10 worst abusers of intellectual property, has become as predictable as tax day.

Each year for the past four years, we’ve been told that we are a nation of pirates and thieves, keeping company with epic bootlegger nations like Russia and China. And each year, no proof is given to back up the smear.

The USTR provides no hard facts or data illustrating the extent of piracy and counterfeiting in Canada. Instead, the report simply reminds us that we haven’t adopted the right kind of intellectual property laws. And what kind is the right kind?
The American kind, naturally. :sick:

Yeah, Thanks Canada. It's all about the almighty Loonie, isn't it?


or is the Loonie not so almighty after all? According to exchange rate as of this moment : it takes 1.006 Canadian Dollars to Buy ONE American Dollar. Boy , it must sure suck to be traveling abroad as a Canadian today trying to exchange those Loonies.

If you haven't noticed, the price of oil has dropped. The Canadian Dollar is also referred to as the "Petro Dollar" .
It's all good, if Romney gets elected we'll be back to $1.10 (10% higher than the US buck), just like under the former republican regime.
