The Irrelevant US Economy

Hello. The economy in general, and the US economy in particular, is dominating the Canadian federal election. It's by far the top issue, and with good reason. However, the US economy should be irrelevant to this election.
Why? While Canada is and will always be impacted by the US economically, the Canadian government has almost no impact on the US economy. Canada will still have economic problems no matter who wins the election.
Is Canada better off than the US? Of course. Our banks are in much better shape. So is our housing situation. In fact, I can't believe our dollar is now $0.90 US.
If the only reason you're voting against the Conservatives is the US economy, think again. You may have other reasons to vote Liberal or NDP, and that's fine. But the Conservatives cannot be blamed for the US economy. They're an irrelevant bystander.
