A comment on Canada considering charging for road access from USA to Alaska. Parent comment
In the end Canada is a net importer of US agricultural products. By far. Or at least was until last month. The stuff is rotting on the shelves now.
So what's the gripe? We import more food products than we export, and we overwhelmingly consume US agricultural goods.
Just not dairy and eggs (or poultry, I guess)
Is the concern that the US dominance of our economy is not total enough?
Sounds like a justification for annexation, for sure.
This hasn't been remotely true since the early 70's.
