Doh! Canada

[Ronald]

I would like to see Justin Prime Minister some day. That being said his big announcement wasn't even carried in Quebec . It was a non event there. Unless the federal NDP screw up royally, his effect and ability to meld the country will be a very slow process. That's a good thing because they would keep the split between those who disagree and us good people.

Au contraire, mon frère. If he rides in on the coattails of his old man I can't see many people in the West voting Lib., especially considering the metric & bilingual abomination he put Canada in.

I don't believe the libs will win the next Federal election but we will be back to a minority government.

BC peeps have always been envious of Alberta ...

Not really, BC has most everything that Alberta has and in theory BC should be as wealthy as Alta but we've suffered many many years of incompetent governments, we've now got a so called fiscally responsible right wing government that wastes more money than the previous left wing bunch. Maybe we should recruit Wall to move to B.C and take over.

The metric system is used the world over except for the UK and Excited States.
It is a much easier system.

The biggest trading partner and neighbor of Canada is the USA. Trudeau implements a system that relies on conversion for import & export of products with the USA, 40 years later Canadians still convert. I'm not sure what the total cost to Canadians was at the time but the USA seems to be doing just fine on the Imperial System. It may be a simpler system but litres or gallons, when you fill up your tank with gas the total amount you pay in the end is the same either way.

I know whats done is done but the change never did make any sense to me

As of 2012 the USA - 77.7% Share of Total Exports & 52.4% Share of Total Imports with Canada
