Economic Recession

I thought so too. And at least from what I've heard, I'd assume the American public is largely opposed to anotehr war. So why are all of these talks of Iran and nuclear weapons etc going on? Again, we don't get too much American news here...

From what I've heard, McCain wants to invade Iran, because they have nukes. You know, like Iraq did. America is the only country allowed to have nukes.

This provides a good opportunity for America to take control of Iran's oil fields and bleed it absolutely dry to keep the economy on life support for a little while longer. That's why everything Middle East related happens.

Banks: stop giving credit to people willy-nilly. That ruins your cash flow. Government: stop taking people's oil. We don't care what excuses you have.

It doesn't seem to be hitting us massively hard over here. As long as I have my tea and my better-than-the-rest-of-the-word smugness, I'm fine.

I wish I had a nice, tall glass of that smugness...

Move to Europe. We've got gallons of that for a low price.

Is everyone forgetting that Canada isn't a real country.

That's probably the first time I've heard the word "gallon" and "low price" used in the same sentence in a long time.

Nice message in there ^_~



As for our political scene, right now it looks like the Conservatives are going to win a minority government. Right now that's the best I can hope for since for a while it was looking like they'd have a majority. The liberals are about 10% behind in the polls, but when you add their support with the NDP, Greens, and the BQ, there's enough to stop the Conservatives from winning the majority.

I still can't believe our prime minister is denying the fact that we are in a recession. We all know it. The other political parties know it. Why does Harper have to try to convey the "cool and collected" image. Even conservatives, I find, are annoyed by the fact taht he does not acknowledge the state of the economy.

We need another Clinton. He may have been a crappy person, but he was an excellent leader.

I kinda liked Clinton as a person... He's like my kind of guy.

For those of you who think America's problems are just america's problems, you're wrong. Your economic problems have basically screwed us up too because our banks were stupid enough to invest in you.

I can't say I'm an expert in the subject but most of us in Britain, except apparently the people where Stu lives, have been noticing that the price of a glass of smugness has been rising steadily.

For Canada, Mexico and all of Souther America, I'd like to change America in US. =P Kinslayer would have wanted it that way.

Our food prices have gone up a bit. Apart from that nothing much is happening.

Oh, and my building society went broke and has been taken over by Nationwide.

I for one am pissed. The conversion rate has changed so the Australian Dollar that was worth 97 US cents has fallen right down to 66 cents.
I hope this all gets fixed before Left4Dead comes out, I don't wanna be paying so much more for it.


Just checked: it's currently 65.3099 cents, apparently.

The Canadian Imperial Bank fo Commerce's stocks have plummeted too, because they had large investments in the American mortgate market.

That sucks major ***, dude. And from what I understand, you fellas overpay like bitches for game as it is. And comparing your currency to the dollar? I thought we were low enough as it is! We might have to stop making peso jokes and start making AUS dollar jokes!
