A good case in point would be a small time webmaster like myself. For every $5,000 U.S. you make a month, I make roughly $7,700 - which more then compensates for any cost of living differences between Canada and our neighbors to the south.

Thats all fine and dandy if you stay in Canada, but come across the border and buy yourself a Coke for 36 dollars Canadian.

Another case would be the current Soft Wood Lumber dispute between Canada and the US. The US gov't is levying heavy premiums on our exports as they feel that our US counterparts can not compete against our pricing.

Your proud that your trying to undercut the US?
One, its not as easy to log in the US as it is in Canada. We are not 95% wilderness and have a population of 2000. Your country has the environmental policies of the French.
Just because you can glut the market with your cheap lumber doesn't mean shit. Its the same reason internet porn is hurting, too many idiots flooding the market with cheap product.
Your fisherman do the same things. Cut off your noses spite your face. Canadians are fucking idiots plain and simple.
The land of fucking bland. Your music suck, your tv sucks, your beer suck, and your women are ugly.
And the French are homosexuals.
