I think 'political' in this case refers to countries with loads of dangerous weapons.
I was under the impression that it was GDP, or GNP, that counted. I thought that the G7 were the countries ranked 1-7, and Russia was invited so that they didn't get miffed and could still play at being a power on the world stage.

I thought that the G7 were the countries ranked 1-7.Well my 'lots of dangerous weapons' comment was more a guess rather than anything else. I'd be surprised if Canada were in the top 7 economies Vernon, but perhaps you're right. I tried to find some confirmation or refutation, but only came up with only this: "G7: Group of the 7 most industrialized countries in the World"http://www.pik-potsdam.de/dept/scoop/igbp/abk.htmWhere are AWAD's macroeconomists and/or international affairs specialists?

Mine was a guess, too. Surely there must be some economists here?
