Reply #31: A good part of your imports from Canada are essentials...

[Spazito]

like gas, oil, electricity, water. Regardless of the state of the US economy, the US will have to continue to import those essentials which means we are somewhat insulated re US position in the world, it's economy, etc.

Many countries, including Canada, are signing major trade agreements with China, Japan, etc, which will also mitigate what will happen in the US from affecting the rest of the world.
