Disaster Zone Podcast: ‘The Canada – United States Relationship’

A great primer on Canada. Information you need to know.

What do you know about Canada? It is a strange relationship that we have in that Canadians know everything about the United States and we in the USA know very little and seem to care less.

This week’s Disaster Zone podcast is “The Canada – United States Relationship.” I consider it an excellent primer on Canada for Americans who need to better understand our neighbor to the north and our close relationship that has been part of our long, peaceful coexistence.

At a minimum the states who border on Canada need to have a better understanding of their international neighbors. For instance, if you asked people who is our largest trading partner most people might say China because that is what is in the news so much. Actually, it is Canada.

I highly recommend this podcast for your general education.
