Could Microsoft buy Canada?

[Sukhoi]

Why not? Is Canada really worth more than $80 billion?

 

[yllus]

Canada's GNP in 2000 was $760 billion. 😛

 

[Supertastic Fool]

Who would spend 80 billion dollars on canada? No offense canadians I just don't see much point in 90% ice...

 

[Atlantean]

No it couldn't Canada is worth way more than 80 billion... look at all the natural resources we have.

You don't think being able to produce almost 10x the given figure in a year is relevant to judging a country's worth?

Having been to Canada I would have to say no.

Maybe a province like the Northwestern Territories (if there is no oil in the ground) but I doubt you'd really want that friggid (sp) hunk of land.

I bet Microsoft could buy Quebec.... but then again who would want to buy a place where the people are both obnoxious and dull 😉

Having been there as well, I would have to agree.

I just saw a statistic on the History Channel that said if Bill Gates' self worth was a country, he would be ranked #55, right ahead of Bangladesh.... So apparently, he could buy Bangladesh. 😀 Of course, that is just BIll Gates, not Microsoft.

Exactly. It's like asking, "Could Microsoft jam a chopstick up its nostril and out through the back of its skull?" Sure, I guess, but why?

 

[WinkOsmosis]

Americans seem to have a very poor grasp of numbers...

The tank isn't doing so well these days.

 

I love how you guys can base your entire opinion of a country from a couple road trip there, and have it be totally justified.

When a Canadian does that to America, your panties get in a huge bunch.

Actually, I like Canada.

I just like to poke fun at Canadians. 😀

Gee REALLY????

 

[fizmeister]

No, dude. We produced the Great One. That should account for something...

Also, I mean, if it wasn't for us, we would have no Celine Dion. Oh, wait...

What are you talking about? I don't form any opinions for myself at all. I believe whatever the TV tells me to. Oh, and the internet, of course.
