Nazis invented trade blocks and embargos?

No they didn't, Rome did, of course they were earlier facist pigs as well. They picked it up from someplace gone.

I am not a trump supporter but he is right on trade deals like the ones TPP and even NAFTA
its time we produced our own resources and took control Canadianizing the natural products
we have and selling them for more.
Its time to cut corps off at the knees as it were I am an economic nationalist and Canadians
must come first. Say no to XL and make sure we control the flow of oil anywhere from our
country. We should be helping friendly nations not those who would attempt to do us harm

The one thing Trump is wrong on is free trade and NAFTA.

Both countries are trading countries and both have benefited enormously from these agreements (Mexico more than the other two).

I'm surprised Trump would take this position given that he builds and benefits from these agreements.

Including Mexico in keeps Mexicans working in Mexico rather than swimming the Rio.

Canada was great and getting greater before we got the Libs back in, now its debt, deficit, refugees galore, Mexicans starting to line up for free vacations and refugee claims, no jobs, lots of selfies, etc etc, it's all down hill now.

If you think Trump has a legitimate plan for this then you will be disappointed.

Oh yes, I'm not going to hold my breath on this and hope Trump would do the right thing but, there is this which is positive. As much as Mexicans did not prosper from it, he was correct........

Well Mexico was certainly a big winner with NAFTA - if you don't count the fact that they basically extort their own people with criminally low wages in manufacturing.

When I say Mexico or Canada was a big loser I am always referring to the citizens. Mexicans standard of living has remained as stagnant as it was when NAFTA came into effect thanks to Bill Clinton committing to the Republican drive to open up 'free trade' with China....

When can we expect the return of Canadian made socks and underwear? Kitchen tables and chairs, small gas engines, advanced fighter jets? Hockey sticks? Food?

You will have to ask Chrysta about that......


We at the Council of Canadians have also been asking for full consultations, an independent analysis by the Parliamentary Budget Officer and also analysis that would include impacts on the environment and human rights. It is not enough to put up 6,000 pages of legal text or get department cheerleaders to brag about it. We need to have an impact analysis from independent sources so we can weigh the pros and cons of the agreement.

In the meantime, we will be consulting you. And we will let the government hear your opinion. With Open Media and other groups, we are participating in a creating a tool that will send your comments to the Parliamentary Committee on Trade and to your MP. We will also keep your comments online so that we also can keep track of your comments.

Use the tool to send your comments, register for the committee on trade’s process and talk to your local MP: many all over the world have questions about how the deal damages our public interest, the environment, health care and our democracy. We are more numerous, and we deserve a hearing.

We definitely want to make our own underwear, Canadians have Balls and we need the underwear to accommodate that.

It is very good to hear that the Council of Canadians is not extinct. A billion comments will do nothing to change the brave new world we are advancing into blindly. We were always told in school that humans were unique in haveing no natural predators. Another big lie from school days. By the time you get a hearing and publish we will be already dead for decades. The trade deals are more important than any social upheavel which can be sprayed down quite easily when the cash is gone and your plastic reports every beer purchase and bowel movement all subject to taxation, slavery is making a big comeback, organs will be cheaper than ever before, we will actually farm the donators, soon gone will be the days when you had to steal livers from Gazan children. agenda 21, one world, one size fits all except the administration and its priests.
Free cannabis, take the chains off that leafy gift from God. Just that one battle won would elevate mankind in a single decade. The world of mankind faces a very big problem, again, the enemy is ignorance and we become ignorant because of our education, feed, housing, consumables, habituated to chains. This more permaent power grab has to happen earliest century 21, the agenda is quite simple, eradicate them before they eradicate us. There's to many of us and we're fukking up thier air.


We definitely want to make our own underwear, Canadians have Balls and we need the underwear to accommodate that.


Not only that, but today I celebrated am celebrating Doff the Longjohns Day, so I've been prancing about in my briefs all day, I spent a good deal of tim,e out of doors today, I dried a load of clothes outside today, it's not over yet I can wonder arround the yard right now with a glass of wine and just a shirt and it's magnificent the southwest wind is warm. I can't wait till next year when it happens again.


How's grammy Maude these days?
