canadian financial stitutions carry more capital and were more leveraged. this is part of regulation and partly because of culture. >> so dare i say it, that canadian banks were more bore something. >> and criticized for it. in 2005, 2002006, you can find examples of stock analysts were that critical of canadian banks. and to be honest the canadian financial system doesn't do a lot of innovation first, what it tends to do is watch what goes on not united states and say, hey that seems to work pretty well so, you know, then canada will start to do things. so, you know, as the risk appetite in the united states went up, and we saw increased numbers of sub prime loans being done, canada had far, far fewer sub prime loans, so at one point, i think it was 40% origination was sub prime and in canada, it got up to 4.5% to 5% was sub prime. so when the u.s. financial system ran into liquidity problems, the central bank stepped in and said, here is liquidity to get you through the crisis and once the global crisis settled down the central banks came back to life and

that continues with commodore jiles and the canadian officers that you assigned to my staff. it's interesting that his predecessor, when i was called by a head of state in the middle east to bring in an american planning team had a canadian general walk into the king's a aw audience and said i'm here to commit the u.s. government. it shows the level of trust we have between us and do to our service together, you may be aware of my proud connections to can that and the canadian forces, i spent many of my boy hood summers on a farm south of winnepeg, and my grant father was wounded at cambray, a wonderful outfit, called the little black devils, of course, named as they were by the enemy. you can fast forward from there, to early january 2002. minister mckay spoke about kandahar, my marines have been fighting around kandahar only a few weeks when your light infantry arrived and reminded us on the battlefield the special bond we share along this long border, and especially a bond we share after stopping invading your country. princess pa tricsha brigade -- give this to you so you

they will even give us intelligence on what the french canadians are doing, and many -- most of them were. they wanted -- acadians wanted to be neutral and to retain their property and lands. they didn't want to be embroiled and caught in this conflict beyond their control, but the fact is here they were dragged in in a terrible way, and the british authorities, with the support of the new england troops and colonel winslow, john troops and colonel winslow, john winslow of massachusetts, conveyed the news to the french inhabitants gathered in towns and churches and brought into forts, and the way the british authorities did this was by subterfuge, it's true. how could they evacuate a population in those days with the limited technology? they basically said this. we order all men to come into the fort or to meet at this church. you will be safe. we will discuss the situation about your lands. we will have some di arrest, and then they sent word to the women and children in the villages. if you want to see your man, you come to the fort. that's the next stage to expulsion, and that's h

. >> if i had to choose between that system, the canadian system, and the monstrosity that obamacare was going to be, or perhaps will become financially ruinous, intellectually incredibly dishonest, and unworkable, i would choose the canadian system and the american people would. before we go to a canadian system, assuming the law is struck down, we will try the conservative alternative, which would begin with tort reform, which would have to do with competition. i think that would be the more proximal alternative. if that doesn't work, we will surely end up with a canadian or british-style system. >> nina, i heard you on msnbc with chuck todd about the politics. it makes chief justice roberts nervous? >> he is chief justice of the united states, not of the supreme court. the great chief justices in history have been those who have understood that this is an institution to be protected, whose authority is to be protected. the 5-4 decision does not help do that. he may not have real control over that per. the court seemed very split along the same kind of ideological lines that you se

and that is understandable, but i tell you by the nature, canadian forces are probably more a tuned to fighting in coalitions than any other nations and they bring a certain ethical element that helps support the forces. while maintaining conventional forces so they can dissuede conventional threats the forces cannot be built solely along conventional lines using iconic weapons systems we have learned about conflict and a number of things that we anticipate needing in future fights. insurgery -- as we fight the wars among the people. special operations forces must blend with conventional forces and precision fires will be needed and time sensitive targeting is critical if we are to take out the enemy with the least cost of lives and danger on the battlefield. intel operations, fusion, must be achieved in real time or the enemy will steal a march on us. there were too many times we had the intel people in one room in the past and ops people in the other and it would be tough to get back and forth with the time sensitive information we needed. technology certainly will remain important,

he also had canadian militia, french canadians. he had indian warriors of 1,600 men, warriors, and they came as far away as the great lakes, even lake superior. it's hard to believe, but they did. they came hundreds of miles to fight. the british and british colonials there, british regiments and men from new england, new york, new jersey, the provincial troops, where the militia really serving with the british, okay? who were the various natives fighting here with the french? the abenaki, algonquins, nippissing, micmac, huron, ottawa, potawatomi and winnebago way in towards lake superior. it's quite remarkable that these native people from the great lakes came. so many hundreds of miles. why? because they thought they were strengthen their interests with the french, their ties to the french, and gain trade goods, gain plunder for more, gain scalps, gain prisoners or captives that they could sell for goods and add to their power and strengthen their own position. so they joined the war for their own reasons to be sure. one of the n

they took over the french canadian forts, and then shortly after those forts were taken over, the year was 1755. it was the summer. the government in nova scotia, the british government decided to go ahead with the evacuation. well, the only way governor lawrence could accomplish that was through the massachusetts troops. and that is what occurred. and it was a very, very sad tragic train of events where -- and the news spread to boston tragic train of events where -- and the news spread to boston from halifax. halifax is a city, as you know, in nova scotia today named for the earl of halifax, a major leader in the british government. and a report came out of halifax to boston. we are now upon a great and noble scheme of sending the neutral french out of this province who have always been secret enemies and have encouraged the savages to cut our throats. we can't trust them, they say. neutral. they want to stay out of the conflict. they will even give us intelligence on what the french- most of them were. they wanted -- acadians wanted to be neutral and to retain their property and lan

asked by israeli judge, did you of tell the canadians about your involvement in terrorism, he simply said, they didn't ask. all of us in the world, especially the west, have done it a lot more difficult for terrorist attacks. not only applying to al qaeda but hezbollah. one of the ways they tried to break out that problem set, leverage its relationships with criminal elements to carry out attacks as well. and finally, you could have a situation homegrown violence extremism, when we deporded one of the people involved in the bombing of khobar towers in saudi arabia, u.s. government put out a warning we believe this could lead unknown individuals to carry out an vulnerable attack. in conclusion, by no mean a forgone conclusion hezbollah will attack in the united states, but to the extent it believes its interests are threatened the likelihood grows and carried a significant number of attacks abroad including some targeting u.s. interests abroad. thank you for the opportunity to testify before you. look forward to your questions. >> thank you, dr. levitt. our next witness, associate pro

and the canadians have been performing relatively well, and they've still got problems. they have their national health program which couldn't be sustained if most canadians did not live within 100 miles of the u.s. border. but the point is, it shows that you can reverse course. but we're really running out of time. we're talking about months, not years. i'm not sure that we have to the end of the year. with our presidential candidates, when i say our, i'm assuming virtually everybody here is republican, all you obama supporters put up your hands, please? i can't see that well but i don't think there's too many out there. but among the four we have, they have all attacked the fed in one way or another. ron paul wants obama to put in a gold standard. the other three have said they want to get rid of bernanke. which is a good idea. but then what? they haven't said who they want to replace him with or how to. well, we do have a real problem with the fed. and i would also replace bernanke but there's a more fundamental problem that we have given the fed tasks that are in som

i just want to know the collaboration we have with the canadian government. is it adequate? do we have adequate resources to protect the northern border and what's our knowledge of what's going on in toronto? >> if i might, i mean, i think canada has declared hezbollah their number one threat. if i'm not mistaken. i think they are very much on top of what hezbollah is doing. we relied heavily on their version of fisa material for our prosecution. they had some excellent evidence up there. they've been all over this very same group. so i think they are very much on top of hezbollah and the threat with hezbollah. there's regular contact with them and our domestic intelligence services and, of course, the agency. so i don't think there's any doubt that canada is very much attuned to the threat posed by hezbollah and the border crossings. but as mike pointed out, the leakiest border is the southwest border. there's no doubt about that. and that's where most of the drugs are coming across. that's where the well established routes are. and you can -- there are well established tra

as canadians we had to be careful about what the united states thought. it's always been very difficult for canada to take a path that is too divergent from the united states and on the whole we tend to agree with the united states, we certainly did on the cold war on major foreign policy issues, but i think we never felt committed to taiwan as the united states did and we never felt i think as viscerally anti-communist perhaps as many in the united states did and we're also sort of a practical people and we had a lot of wheat at the end of the 1950s and china had a lot of famine and they came to the canadian china and we'd like to buy your wheat and we're prepared to pay hard currency, so we started trading with the peoples republic of china not to the pleasure of the united states, the united states was not pleased about it but we established a trading relationship and then at the end of the 1960s, the new prime minister reviewed all our foreign policies and came to the conclusion and i think he was right that it was absurd for canada not to recognize t

in october, the senior, american forces in fact was captured on canadians who. in november this sol on montrÉal ended in a retreat in a terrifying exchange of friendly fire between american forces. in short, the british forces more than held their own throughout the work, so perhaps it can be said that in a supporting role the canadians were indeed victorious. a group who certainly didn't win with the american indians. with settlers of encroaching upon their list of many indigenous tribes sided with the british before the war between. then senator andrew jackson on with many others in washington city believed america had been excited to work. with the ongoing fear among westerners of what lexington, kentucky, reporter called a scalping knife in the tomahawk of the british savages, the indians found themselves doing battle with the likes of william henry harrison, northwest territory, and later brigadier general andrew jackson after he took charge of u.s. forces in the south. the charismatic tecumseh, the wellington of the indian as he was called by one british o
