RE: allangrs: WPT not immune to U.S. dilemmaCalifornians have been suffering down there with smog for years mostly because of the Port Trucks (area),I truly believe they are serious about this issue whether or not you or I agree or disagree on how the economy effects it all does not matter,the wheels are in motion and there is no turning back,there is too much invested for all parties to quit.It is after all a health and safety issue.As far as Banks go U.S. banks have different rules for lending as you are well aware .Canadian Banks are a little more care full in there domestic lending practices,but some got tied in with some U.S. exposure.You are correct in some way about our exposure to their economy it will get worse here but I would not panic to much.
