Export to leave thru Canada... sure, we have no airports or ports ... Don't forget, we own a part of ALL ports and airports of Canada ...
Your attitude is the type that makes be lean on the separation side. And when I change or forget, there is always another TED WINTERS to remind me .... JE ME SOUVIENS. |
Well the wood buisness took a huge hit with the US tax on imports. The industry is hurting, they just lost Gaspesia. Asbestos was a huge part of the economy and its being banned all over. We are loosing textile jobs to thrid world countries. Hydro is probably the best asset Quebec has.
Which countries use the US dollar as currency? I have no idea on this one. Knowing Quebec, they will want a dollar bill with Rene-Levesque picture on it, thats a guarantee. Quebecers arent all that friendly towards the US so this leads to believe me that they probably wont go to the US $$.
I have to agree that theres going to be a huge transition period and its gonna cost a shitload of cash. Border control, port control,armed forces, intelligence etc. Those are all federal agecies in federal buildings, I have no idea how they are going to negotiate stuff like that.
