The seeds of America's misery were sown by two recent events. Globalization, its attendant outsourcing and decimation of industry and the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Neither achieved any desirable results either for the US or the countries they were supposed to improve. One was driven by corporate greed which went unchecked and further led to the global financial crisis and the other by American political naivete and deceit. In Canada we are thankful for a leader like Jean Chretien in those troubled times. An experienced, honest and shrewd politician, he couldn't do much about outsourcing but kept the financial system well regulated. He refused to get Canada involved in the wars despite tremendous American pressure brought to bear on him. Canada survived what America could not. Our natural resources, innate fiscal prudence and socialist policies helped. But God bless America and bring it back to its pre-eminence. Roland. Toronto.
