Comments & Feedback
Saw your story on the economic stimulus.
I honestly believe the worst has yet to come and it will get real ugly. What we are seeing in the USA is a massive shift in wealth, most of which is going to China. I'm not sure how bad it is in Canada, but if it gets worse your country may need to put fences to keep Americans looking for work out of your country!!!
Such a pleasure to find that I have so much in common with a fellow Canadian here on Newsvine. Thanks for the seeds!
