Canada/USA : John "Can Do" McCain "All Business"

Opinion
Barry Artiste, Now Public Contributor
Presidential Candidate John McCain, you have to give the man his due. 

McCain epitomizes the "American Can Do "attitude when it comes to business, innovation, big picture. 

Canada on the other hand has always had a  "Let's See what the USA do First" attitude before putting a dime anywhere on the industrial map. 

Canadian business when it comes to investment or innovation always rely on the USA to always make the first move.  If the USA fail, Canada can then smugly take their Ball and Bat and retreat safely home. 

True, Canada is cautionary in all things business, but unless Canada takes some much needed baby steps, the status quo will always be "Same Sh*t, Different Diaper" when it comes to leading the way in business.

The North America Free Trade Act is good for both sides, Democrats and Liberals ratified it in the 1990's thought so too.

Canada just needs to make sure they share in all things equally including getting our Business Community to invest, innovate, and remove safety nets such as subsidizing businesses who trade with the USA, as the softwood lumber industry in Canada has learned, the USA just want a level playing field, Canadian Businesses need to stand or fail on their own, they should not need Government subsidizes to remain viable, and that's is just Common sense in any "Fair Game!"

Many Americans and Canadians between our two countries takes away their jobs? Really? Last time I checked American and Canadian manufacturers were outsourcing all their work to Asia, not outsourcing jobs between our two countries where wages are pretty much the same!  After all where would the benefit be?  

Currently the Canadian economy under the Conservative Government is Hot, Hot, Hot, hotter than it has ever been since the last Conservative Government in the early 1960's.

Our economy under the Liberals during that time with intermittent Conservative governments cannot make the same claim.

Canada is also undergoing a severe labour and trade shortage from Doctors to Carpenters, any American out of work in the USA with a marketable skill can make his mark on the world for him and his family and enjoy a standard of living equal to the USA with the added benefit of free health care by applying for a work visa to work anywhere in Canada.

All our American Brothers and Sisters have to do is apply to Immigration Canada  http://www.cic.gc.ca  wait 6 weeks for approval, pack up the wife and kids and the family pet, put a couple of tankfuls of gas in the family beater, drive North, and Bobs Yer Uncle, Welcome to Canada.   Now you tell me, where else can you go for a lifestyle the same as the "American Dream" only a few hours away?

In Canada you get better Beer and a Kick ass Hockey culture, though lacklustre Football Teams, but then that is why God invented Cable and US TV Channels.
