I was just going to ask if anyone wanted to tell Danny that if the US economy so much as sneezes, Canada's economy falls over and dies.

Sort of... The current situation is a weird one. Canada has been weathering this recession better than us.

America's a beast when it comes to size and resilience, so as long as we survive, our partners can often do even better.

On the one hand, this gives us a lot of financial leverage in the world. On the other hand, "surviving" can also mean that the average person suffers considerably when it comes to falls in standard of living.
