Thanks for this Kevin

Proof of the pudding is always in the eating.

I've just learned that Australia is investing workers retirement funds in US Real Estate also

So Lance and his prophet don't have a whole lot of support from "down under" either

Ah

 Ah

    AH CHOO!

 

excuse me

 

348,000 New York jobs are supported by Canada-U.S. trade

Total Canada–U.S. merchandise trade: $411 billion

Canada–U.S. trade supported 5.2 million U.S. jobs

More people traveled between Canada and NY in 2004 than any other U.S. state

14,500,000 vehicles crossed the Canada-U.S. border at the four Niagara crossings last year, accounting for 34% of all traffic that crossed into Ontario

 

ROTFL

With this many US Jobs gone, could CanaDUH rebound?

 

Seeing that a FULL 84% of CanaDUHs exports are US

Calculator please

That leaves 16%, can CanaDUH's economy survive on 16% of its present exports?

Remember that the Total export/imports of canada represents a FULL 2/3rds of their GDP!

SIZE does matter!

 

Thanks for the add'l example of mindless parroting.

Don't you just HATE Ignorance?

I guess it is better than letting it go to waste.

The 'prophet' (take note, David) said otherwise in November. Canada will not suffer the same fate at the USA. Size does matter but, it's not the only thing that matters.

Don't worry Lance, if the USA implodes - Canada and Europe will go with it - at present when the

US sneezes the rest of the world catch a cold.  Such envy and jealousy from the North ... Goodness gracious!

Most on TT will live to see the implosion of the USA. At what point will you declare bankruptcy. You don't have the option of moving out of your old house and into a new one.

 

 

 

As a teacher, he had come to dislike American elementary schools. They could be overcrowded, with up to seventy children of all ages crammed into one-room schoolhouses, poorly staffed with untrained teachers, and poorly equipped with no desks and unsatisfactory textbooks which came from England. Webster thought that Americans should learn from American books, so he began writing a three volume compendium, A Grammatical Institute of the English Language. The work consisted of a speller (published in 1783), a grammar (published in 1784), and a reader (published in 1785). His goal was to provide a uniquely American, Christ-centered approach to training children.

The speller was originally entitled The First Part of the Grammatical Institute of the English Language. The title was changed in 1786 to The American Spelling Book, and again in 1829 to The Elementary Spelling Book. Most people called it the "Blue-Backed Speller" because of its blue cover, and for the next one hundred years, Webster's book taught children how to read, spell, and pronounce words. It was the most popular American book of its time; by 1861, it was selling a million copies per year, and its royalty of less than one cent per copy was enough to sustain Webster in his other endeavors. Even Ben Franklin used Webster's book to teach his granddaughter how to read.

 

Noah was generally known to be Christian. It is reported that Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary contains the greatest number of Biblical definitions given in any reference volume. Webster considered "education useless without the Bible."

  • "In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.” (Preface to the 1828 edition of Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language )

Besides his dictionary, Webster also released his own translation of the Bible in 1833. In doing the translation, Webster used the King James Version as a base. He consulted the Hebrew and Greek along with various other versions and commentaries.
