It's better for Canada if Bush wins.

Reason 2: Kerry is a protectionist bastard. Do we want Ontario auto jobs going back to Michigan or Ohio? Hell no.

Reason 3: Bush will be better for the stock market at least in the short term. Continuity will be good.

Reason 4: Kerry might just be able to convince Ottawa to send aid or troops to Iraq. Fuck Iraq, it's not Canada's problem.

The Canadian dollar will go up no matter who wins.

Likely if Bush wins, the dollar's rise might slow a bit in the next few weeks, but no matter what, the US dollar is going to continue to slide and combined with Canada's strong economic growth and rising interest rate environment, will push the loonie higher.

That's actually preety bad. For Canada I mean.

It hurts our productivity for sure. Canadian enterprise has been able to hide behind a weak dollar for a long time. Hopefully this kick in the ass will encourage outfits to find real ways to improve costs and productivity.

All true. Yet I would still rather have had Kerry in office. I personally don't put much consideration into their effect on our economy, even though it may affect our welfare a little. I'm more concerned with what may happen internationally.

But we'll see. Now begins the healing process!

Better dollar= Less americans coming here to spend money.

Plus there the less fresh air and clean water. Bush forgot that the pollution does not obey the borders. tsc tsc.

Also less exports to the US. Canada made over 30 billion CDN$ in August in trade exports to the US.

A lot of jobs in Canada are around because Canada sells lots of products to the States.
 
Better dollar = less work for Mike = more time spent on Gaming Age = more bannings

A vote for Bush is a vote for getting banned.
