Us takes resources and preying upon 3rd world nations for their labor and continues to this day even after independence is declared: massive corporations do not set up in canada and us because we have laws protecting people set up in 3rd world countries without a minimum wage or protection laws, colonialism is alive in tourism: only way they can make money and get jobs for people is by promoting tourism industry.
