I'm surprised that anybody reads what I write...

So I shall bring to light the subject of debate on the U.S economy. R.J, woudln't being a U.S/Can citizen open your eyes to the actual dominance (piggy bag style) we ACTUALLY have going here? At what point does the U.S inflence turn to abuse (in regards to the Canadian economy).

I'd like to first note, that it's often hard to determine context on the internet, since at times people choose not to put a 45 page thesis attached to every argument (at least I'm not prepared to).
Perhaps I should have rephrased and said "Canada is more dependent on the American economy (then they are on Canada's)". From a trade perspective (surplus/deficit) [REMEMBER THIS IS THE CONTEXT!] I would have to agree with the statement I just made.
American policies influence Canada's policies [and a lot of other countries too] - and vice-versa - that's politics. It's give and take [hopefully].
At what point does it turn into abuse? Thats beyond the realm of things I'm prepared to answer. Should one prepare a checklist to determine economic abuse? I don't think it's that easy.

It "keeps us alive"? lol I'm not that left wing but I'm not stupid enough to believe that. The U.S economy simply put, "runs the show", and they will pretty much do anything in their power to keep it that way. (as any super power would, I'm not bitter, just acknowledging)

I agree you're right. Canada could and most likely would survive on it's own. I also agree with you - the US economy does run the show - for most of the world [or at least they try]- and their power and influence keeps it that way.
Perhaps this wasn't the response you expected. 
Isn't it nice having only 1 superpower?? (joke)
Oh, and to answer your question (and the title of this thread): I can be very, very wrong at times.
I believe that without failure, and without being wrong, and then realizing it (key point!) I wouldn't be the person I am today. I'll admit when I'm wrong, re-analize the situation/data and then develop another hypothesis (which may still be wrong).
Ok, that's enough finger work for the day.. cheers!
