the surprise decision is making analysts worried the canadians might also reject a much larger deal by chinese oil giant c.n.o.o.c. to buy calgary-based nexen. darren gersh looks at what's at stake as chinese state-owned companies flex their financial muscle. >> reporter: it is no secret the chinese government is eager to secure natural resource assets around the world. but the canadians and many other governments have growing concerns about state-owned chinese companies snapping up their oil resources by buying companies like nexen. >> i don't think it looks good for nexen shareholders right now. that doesn't mean that c.n.o.o.c. can't come in and sweeten the deal, try to make some additional concessions to the canadian government, but i would say the deal is definitely in jeopardy at this point. >> reporter: the chinese do have the cash to up their bid to win canadian approval, but even if the nexen de falls throu, chinese companies will be looking to make more big deals. >> the chinese have a really "going out" policy towards investment. they have awakened to the fact that you can m

our shirts were canadian.along with life this that canadian mark if someone decided to pull us aside and go through luggage. i ended up going through collapsar first and was questioned >> reporter: what did they ask you? >> they asked if i was the person in the picture. i said yes. i went like this and pulled my beard down because it was shorter that day. and the guy walks away from his desk into a side room >> reporter: was that the moment of truth for you in this whole operation when that guy walked out? >> that's when it got most serious >> reporter: but the airport official came back with a cup of tea and waved him and the rest of the group through to the departure lounge. >> we chose swiss air because they're on time and maintenance record. and they announced that the flight would be delayed. we had little crisis. you know a crisis of confidence >> reporter: you didn't have to be paranoid to think that they're delaying this flight because somebody is coming to get us? >> yes. reporter: but it really was j

. > > round no. 3: canadian contraband cheese. now cheese, apparently, is a hot commodity in canada, and it costs a lot of money. so people are smuggling it over the border because of loonie power. > > the canadians are doing something right, or obviously we in america are doing something wrong. the canadian dollar has been screaming against the u.s. dollar for the past year, it's looking strong. unfortunately this is one of the outcomes. there are other actual things taking place within commodities, and in fact timber, there was an issue with timber not too long ago, with the grading of timber. but what's your opinion here on the cheese? what do you do? > > the great white north, obviously they're resource-rich, and that's going to be the area of emphasis, because you've got to look at commodities, they have not kept pace with the equities market. so that money is going to flow. you talked about metals, mining, timber, and food, and here's an interesting tidbit: 83% of the world's population are in emerging markets, and what do t

he's dealing with the canadian government. we are asking them for carte blanche for the passport.can you imagine the canadian government coming to the united states congress and asking us for blank passports? domeback. he's dealing with every level from the white house, jimmy carter, who actually approved, tony had one foot out the door in germany and a cable came into his head stop, president is reviewing. 20 minutes later, godspeed, good luck, from the president of the united states. this is unprecedented. because as he said, if this didn't a wealthy american flag was going to be draped all over it. so he's working with the canadians, working wit with a we us, working with the cia bureaucracy, and is working with the state department. and it's difficult to get everybody on the same page with the idea that they are calling the best bad idea they could come up with. he did all that. but beyond that he went and walked them through the airport on his own, which wasn't necessarily in the plan, and our headquarters often tells us don't do that. don't go in the airport with them. if it

you can see some canadian money up there.us about how come how money is easy to plan for, and but what about planning for people? what about those loved ones, those friends that we all say are so critical for having a good life? how many of you, when you thought about a good life, put friends and family first? how many put friends and family being the critical number one element? what do you think it is? what makes it easy to think about planning for money? but so difficult to plan for people? there is something that makes us hesitant to reach out to others. some of us can take this idea of independence to an extreme. i think this is probably some place in newfoundland, a remote shore of canada. we have come to believe that reaching out to others is a sign of weakness. was he asking for help and support as a vulnerability instead of a necessary strength. so if you agree with me that connections are the key to a good life, i would like you to explore with me how technology, and in particular, how that works can actually help.

the canadian nation. that this might not have been a victory for either the united states or great britain but canada regards it as a victory for them. that if they turned back american invasion efforts that after the war of 1812, from then to now there has never been a cross-border conflict. >> i can confirm that. i'm an american who spent a good part of my youth in canada. went to school there and yes, it is very much at source of canadian pride that the americans were defeated. >> thank you for that. yes? >> i would like to go in australia and we had detailed history of the revolution, boston tea party, and so on. and then, of the american civil war. we knew almost everything about that. we had battle of antietum and battle of gettysburg and so on. and when i came here in the 1957, i found i really knew a lot more about the revolution and the civil war than colleagues here, students, and academics. but we never heard a word about the war of 1812. it was not mentioned. and it was not in our history, any

we also have consul general doyle from the canadian consul.ander foster from the coast guard, colonel chet jolly, [speaker not understood] from the united states navy. and of course we have somebody who is an incredible supporters of the fleet week program, mayor ed lee who i am going to turn over the microphone to now. (applause) >> thank you, lewis. welcome. this is the beginning of a great number of events in our city, but i have to say fleet week is really one of my best events. it's one that i've celebrated since just being here and senator feinstein helped reignite it. we were very glad for it to just grow. and, of course, it's a week-long recognition of our armed forces, navy, coast guard, marines. they're all represented here today and i want to give a big shout out and shanks for the men and women in our uniforms who are protecting us. as you know, the world isn't safe. there are a lot of things that are happening. we have to always be ready and vigilant. i think a week out of our very busy calendars to recognize men and women is real

where i come from, overseas, which is lake superior, the canadians, they drop their tax rates to 15%. the average tax rate on businesses in the industrialized world is 25% and the president wants the top effective tax rate on successful small businesses to go above 40%. two-thirds of our jobs come from small businesses. this one tax would actually tax about 53% of small business income. it's expected to cost us 710,000
