Default EU angry that Canada refuses to help bail-out

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle4240996/

Now why would they want money associated with dirty-oil?

I certainly agree with that stance.

We are just beginning the debt struggle in Canada - not a ton of spare change floating around to bail out anybody.

Good, they're right. Canadian taxpayers have no desire, nor obligation, to bail out European banks, and help support welfare states. It's bad enough we support home grown welfare scammers.

Darn you Canadian taxpayers are greedy, here in Europe everyone is supporting the banks with their money and its not fair the rest of the world dont chip in.

How can one demand banks, with all these collage educated money managers to make a profit without outside help.

The EU effectively closed down the trading relationship between the UK and the commonwealth. I think Canada could be a bit more forcefull about telling the EU to get stuffed.

Like the US had any money when they bailed out the world last time?

You Canadians are cheap.

You should pledge billions (and please add in the carbon tax for dirty money).

As hostages please send Voivod & their touring backline over here pronto.

You get to keep Bryan Adams...for now.

Well, they can certainly have Celine and Alex, though we will gladly keep Neil and Shania.
