where'd you get that number? i thought it was lower, but I could easily be wrong

I took the number from a talk radio host. If I remember correctly I think it was Sean Hannity...

Yeah, so disregard that number :P

Canada does rely heavily on the US for its economy, though, so I'm sure that a good relationship with the US is always in their best interest. Actually, I'm kind of curious about this now. I'm off to Google...

... and I'm back. I wasn't able to find a total percentile for Canada's economic dependence on the US, but I was able to find this:

Our trade surplus alone with the United States equals about 10 percent of the Canadian economy and our U.S. exports total well over a quarter of our economy,” McMahon continued.

If 25% (35% when you add the trade surplus) of the Canadian economy is just from exports to the US, that 80% total figure may not be far off.

Everyone knows that on the streets, Canada is the ho, America is the fine blinging pimp.
