The U.S. economy has grown at a much faster rate over the last 2 quarters than the Canadian economy.On top of which, the Canadian economy is extremely dependent on exports to the U.S. If the U.S. does well, Canada benefits. If the U.S. sneezes, Canada catches pneumonia.
Yeah, “first comers” is a better term, especially since the anthropological evidence suggests that there was an ethnically different group (now extinct) that preceded the population that made up modern tribes.
canadian health system is a lot better than america. plus, they didn’t invade iraq on lies. they were in ww1 and ww2 before america. they have a social safety net.
That should be “with us Canadians”, not “we Canadians”. You wouldn’t say “more like we”, you would say “more like us”. I guess the comics sections don’t have editors…?
