Since most of the major corporations in Canada are being bought up by US corporations, Canada will go the way of the US. Europe and Asia will become the new economic powers in the near future. The US as a government, as is true with most Americans in general, is in debt up to its eyeballs and this cannot be sustained in the longterm. I advise you to read international news more. You'll get a better read on what is really happening in the world without the US filter.

i agree completely with this assessment. Europe and Asia will surpass the US in the new economy. It also points to a failure of the Bush adminstration not to have understood the goal of France and Germany in the Iraq debate.

Your post articulates very well what France sought to achieve in putting the US in a bad position. In the end, France continues to play the roll it has historicaly played. (and one of the reasons for European wars)

That roll beign the balance shifter. France has shifted sides continously since the end of the hundred years war, in an effort to keep some balance of power in Europe.

Unless there is a major shift, and unless America can create an economic zone including central and south America, and unless we can find a way to raise the standard of living everywhere to our south, America will become the middle class nation.

Well, I would venture to guess that the US will stay in power as long as we have enough in our nuclear arsenal to wipe out the entire planet several times over. However, I do agree with you on the US having lost economic power, but I don't see Europe and Asia taking over in the near future. Also, what makes you think I don't read international news? Canadians aren't the only ones with the internet, ya know.
