Agree. Most Americans are tone deaf what is going outside of the lower 48. Partly due to ignorance and some due to select media coverage. The protests in Europe were barely covered last weekend. Finally they are. So, agree and wish people would wake up with what's going on more so.Most Americans have no idea about anything that happens outside their fantasy land, and that suits your Government just fine.
Here’s something you won’t want to know, for example…
Canada has had a better Credit Rating than the USA since 2002.
“As far as our credit rating goes, we’re better off than our southern neighbour. Since 2002, Canada as a sovereign issuer has had the highest credit ratings available from S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Ratings, and the second highest rating from Fitch Ratings, according to Bloomberg. The United States has the second-highest rating at S&P and Fitch and the highest at Moody’s.
Even with the extra spending brought on by a tariff-induced downturn, Canada’s debt-to-gross domestic product ratio would be among the lowest in the G-7, Dominique Lapointe, senior director in macro strategy at Manulife Investment Management, told Bloomberg.”
Americans are also buying Canadian Bonds at a record pace, as our economy is considered a safer bet right now than the usa.
“According to Statistics Canada’s international securities transaction data out Monday, foreign investors increased their exposure to Canadian bonds by $33.5 billion in January, with Americans buying $20 billion of that.”
