I believe they meant a car built in Canada.

Indeed that does appear to be the original source.

You bring p a good point about the number of workers over 50. It's definitely under 20 million since there are 6,870,700 over the age of 45.[1]

That would still be $6,870,700,000,000â€”more than weâ€ve spent so far.

uh, Canadian cars? I didn’t know there was a Canadian car company.

Seems like buying Canadian-made American or Japanese cars won’t keep American car companies from reorganizing factories out of Canada.

Are there really 20 Million workers over 50 in Canada? I thought the population of Canada was 33 million.

Is this the source of the chain email, Britain?

Because 20,000,000 people times $1,000,000 each equals $20,000,000,000,000. That is a 2 with 13 zeros after it, or 20 trillion dollars.

Is that not correct?

Why would you need 20 trillion dollars?

I decided to attempt the mathmatics and I will have to retrace my words. This will be impossible to do because you will need ALOT of money to do this. You will have to have about 20 trillion in available money to do this.

Change I can believe in. I wish this would happen for Canada and the states.

That is the BEST economic recovery plan that I've heard!

Don't you realize how that would stimulate the economy. Everyone will be better off if we decided not to loan out our dollars to greedy, ignorant banks and place it in the hands of the avg. citizen.
