Guest guest Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Good Morning Lottie I am sure that you know this, but Canada supplies more oil than Saudi, more water than all the lower states. Canada has the worlds largest supply of fresh water which we share with the USA. We supply more ore, gold other types of minerals to the USA then the rest of the world, I will leave it there will not go into the political area at all.
