Hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs gone under Harper’s Conservatives

....

Under the deal, Mexico has gone from a bit player in the North American auto sector to the second-largest participant with almost 20 per cent of total production, compared with Canada's 16 per cent.

"Heavy truck shipments in Canada collapsed by 75 per cent between 2006 and 2011. It's an incredible example of a manufacturing catastrophe and NAFTA was absolutely a key part of it," he says.

Better question, you noticed that truck was not made in Canada why did you buy it.

It's funny how so many people don't want Canada to join the USA, however have no issue with buying US, and providing jobs to Americans over Canadians.

Just Say'in

Because want the best truck.

That the one Oakville. Why not? Why am I driving a US assembled truck instead of Canadian? What happened?

Ask Henry. I'm not the Ford Motor Company

At the point you start handling theirs.

As a lawyer, I advise you, don't go there.

... And the extra kick in the nuts you can look forward to is that there will be no such thing as cheap consumer goods... Your cost of living just went up.

He's right. Remember how high the cost of living was before NAFTA? It was insane. As soon as NAFTA came into effect, the cost of living plummeted and hasn't stopped dropping.

I have it from a good source that most leftards do not blame Obama for the job losses they blame Bush for.

Interesting that Canadian leftards blame Harper. I guess you did not get the memo for your leftard brethren across the border.

It will all come down to a couple of things this election
One how mad will the public be at a party in power for
ten year.
Secondly the only real campaign is make the public
hate them more than they hate you.
I have seen it over and over again.
