In all seriousness, if Canadians think we're going to skate past all this just because our banks haven't collapsed, think again. The largest economies on the planet are all crashing and burning. With the demand for natural resources falling, that puts Canada in the bulls eye for our own recession. so much of our exports are raw materials. Even if we were still manufacturing large quantities of finished goods, with consumer demand falling off in the US (and most other places) we'd still be screwed.
