Canada and Texas have the same GDP...

Australia, same as Ohio,
Russia, New Jersey,
Iran, Alabama ("home, sweet home alabama..."),
Ireland, Nevada,
etc.

This and more was in today's Globe & Mail, Canadian national newspaper.

Uh, Canada and Texas both have the same amount of letters in their name?

No, wait! Canada and Texas both have the same GDP!

Yes, it did say. But I don't know if it's in Canadian or US Dollars. One Canadian Dollar is roughly $0.68.

Canada/Texas = $717-billion.

USA = $9.8-trillion
European Union = $7.9-trillion
Japan = $4.7-trillion
Russia = $259-billion

Canada and Texas:

Where the men are men, so are the women and the sheep run scared.

Don't goat me now. Okay: that would be Scotland...where the men wear dresses and the sheep are nervous, or in NZ: where the men are dags and the sheep are nervous. I think in Canada and Texas, it's the mow mows that are nervous.

Used to be a country...stretched from Mexico to Wyoming and included Santa Fe, Denver, lots of good ski country today...especially Jackson Hole.

If Texas still had all that land, who would Coloradans hate?
