Many of us are watching the political situation leading up to the elections in the United States. If you're like me, you are thinking how lucky we are here in Canada.
There doesn't seem to be a strong candidate for president this time out. The election process doesn't seem to be focused on issues and the needs of the American people seem to be totally ignored. The focus seems to be who can beat the incumbent.
What about the bad economic times, the trillions of dollars that the U.S. is in debt, unemployment, the housing crisis, the sinking U.S. dollar and the printing of money to keep up? I don't think I have ever seen the U.S. in a worse state than it is in.
At this time, I feel fortunate to be a Canadian. Our banking system is intact and not in shambles as is its American counterpart, which is on shaky ground.
How proud I am to be living in Canada with my family and friends under our political system.
I know that our banks are solid and our dollar is strong, the job market is good and we can go to sleep knowing that our Prime Minister and his government supports Israel and Jews in our country.
Oh Canada!
