They own us, and you. That's the fact. We gave them our economies in return for cheap shite, that and it spited the unions. Now they are running down the monetary flywheel, skimming our economies while they expand their own and buy up strategic chunks of resources (notably in Africa). Now all Canada can do is threaten not to be paid by them. Boogabloodyloo.

We (western governments) made up a set of rules, called globalisation, to make it easy to shaft any economy in the world by sloshing money (OUR money) around. The Chinese played our game better, and won.
