Toronto Star runs a story entitled, Canada's place in the world is rapidly changing. Apparently its come to some think tanks' and investment analysts' attention that Canada doesn't deserve to be on the G7/G8 because our portion of global trade is just south of F-all (1.9%). And, we're exceeded by China, India, and Brazil in global trade so they should probably be there rather than Canada and Italy.
D'oh! Just catching on, now? Good analysis but you're forgetting one important point. Canada is the United States's single biggest trade partner. We're also their strongest ally in world aff. . . well, we're still their single biggest trading partner AND our prime minister speaks English just like their president AND we're the second-biggest country in geographic terms AND our soldiers were there for WWI and WWII before the Yanks AND . . .
