Free Trade (along with monetarism.. commodification and free trade in currency and credit) has been catastrophic for Canada.
It has not only unraveled the sovereignty, integrity, durability of its industrial infrastructure it has undermined the moral coherence of the nation. All is now informed by liberal economic and cultural values. As the nation state of Canada becomes an evermore vague abstraction its economy has been transformed from a manufacturer and processor to a financial cog in the global banking and trading structure.
It's workplace has devolved into one of insecure, poorly paid, service jobs distributing foreign made product. It's culture is now dominated by 'multiculturalism' which means it has no intellectually coherent or historically derived culture; just something is emitted by the social market absent any moral imperatives or national identity.
This country is in deep sh*t. And Free Trade is partially to blame for our impoverishment.
