Well since a number of people on this site seemed to be more than a little misinformed about Canada I have decided to post a link to a website that has both information and dispells some myths.
www.canadianally.com
Keep in mind that the site was put togther by the Canadian miliary advisor to the embassy in Washington, so most of the information will deal with military matters and national security issues.... oh and this site is actually targeted at Washington lobyists and advisors, to give them at least some basic understanding of their largest trading partner.
