Canada and the US are both have each other as major trading partners and would probably both fail if they didn't have each other, anyway, this has nothing to do with Canada vs US, go find another thread to start that in.



Well it depends how you look at it. We're talking about the US president having actual power in other countries, and you brought up EO.

EO isn't giving the president of the US actual power in other countries.

You said it doesn't give any actual powers outside of the US, which is false. It may not be a direct effect, but an executive order can affect internationally. Take it as you will, it's the truth.

Actually no, what I had said is that it's only relevant to your own country.
As in, you can only place laws within your own country.

So yes, you are correct in the sense that the laws can affect other countries, but the same can be said for any other country that passes a law.

Right you are, BUT...we're talking about EO's, not laws. Laws involve more than just the president, which is why I brought up EO's and how they make a president "the most powerful"

Over 9000

And now for a word from our sponsers....

You always post pro anti-USA...that's how it was typical. Deny it if you want, we all know it's true.

I didn't say he can, so don't put words in my mouth. Like I said, you don't know anything about international laws.

First of all, I would like to thank Pain_ELemental for coining the term "pro anti-USA" in all it's self-contradictory glory.

hey ws stop picking on me damn it rofl

Second, I would like to point at that in the same nature of the comment which started this all...SmExY, you're a woman, go take over WS' life!

I know hao to ryde byke wit handuwbaws awff?

That's the right idea! (either that or smexy took my advice and WS just can't seem to talk straight these days)

If you know what it is...what's your question? You said executive orders only effect the US, which is untrue.

How many times can you go around the same circle?

Over 9000

Lol

Countries are only powerful due to what they have. Take that away, and the country is suddenly less powerful.

No shit. I have a specially customized power drill for...well lets not get into that right now...the point is, without being plugged in to electricity, it would never be satis--, i mean powerful enough to do anything. And one of my relatives has a jack hammer that also needs power. Now you can't tell me that the drill is just as powerful as the jack hammer because they have the same power source.

The US COULD be self efficient for about 3 decades before needing other countries, it's been calculated, found that out in Economics :P, they just have to ration products, the US can make most of what they need, but Specialization and Trade makes it easier and cheaper for other countries to do it, all the while stimulating the economy and increasing GDP, so on its own the US could last.

Except without other countries to make fun of and try to turn democratic, we might die off over lack of pride.

ill just leave this here...

Lol, the Spanish Prime Ministers daughters

Do not want.

Brilliant.

I'd like to thank MAD for quoting two terms together, and then trying to say they were one. Notice the placement of the dash pal.

Pro anti-USA, which would mean he is in agreement with "anti-USA".

Thanks.

See but now we're really getting into specific things.
You can't call it "the most powerful position in the world" as some other heads of other countries can do similar things (I don't believe they call it executive order either, but it's the same idea).
Perhaps you can say something like... The President of the US being the most powerful head of a country (in relation to other countries, dur) since he/she has such a power, but then again as mentioned, others have similar powers.... But they're still not ruling over other countries. Just passing 'laws' (yeah, yeah, EOs) that affect relations between their country and others or what not.

Well, it's the most powerful position in the most powerful country in the world...so it kinda goes hand in hand.
