Brazil is top ten
Brazil GDP (purchasing power parity):$1.838 trillion (2007 est.)
Canada GDP (purchasing power parity):$1.274 trillion (2007 est.)
I can say that
"Whites" in Brazil are richerthan in Europe
"Blacks" in Brazil are richer than in Africa
"Indians" in Brazil are richer than in South America
And we have a wonderful "racial" mixture not found anywhere else !
Canada is the second country in area in the world. Brazil still is opening agricultural frontiers and we are still finding natural resources like oil, gas, uranium, metals
Canada has a dominated population of French settlers. They lost a war to the British and lost their "ethnic national state". Have you seen the movie Nouvelle France ? Sad destiny of a people to lose a war and a national destiny. There's no money on earth to compensate this in my opinion. Here in Brazil we defeated all invaders to keep and speak our Portuguese language.
Of course Brazil must improve a lot but Brazil is one of the biggest in the planet
We want to be big not be small. We are not immigrants but Bandeirantes ! We conquered half of South America and we are 20 times bigger than our Colonial Metropolis. Not bad, isn't it !
