The US is technically bankrupt, and heavily reliant on the goodwill of international banking in order to stay alive. Canada is not there yet. BUT, our economy is so linked to the US that there is no doubt we'll all fall like dominoes if they do. The only solution is to distance ourselves from the US - and every other country in the world should do the same. Then we can stand back at a safe distance and watch as the US goes down. BUT is there enough time left? THAT is the question.
