Since I doubt you have read all 1800 pages of the agreement (or maybe you have) with an equal amount of fervor as defending your position, is it any at all possible you have been misled by editorials and misinformation? Just throwing it out there.
No, you are absolutely right. I have not read all 1800 pages, and yes most of my arguement does come from editorials and such. I am an honest person, but at the same time I still claim that you can not take one page out of an 1800 page document and try to defend a statement using it. Especially when it comes from a government document. I have read all of my provincial traffic act and enough of NAFTA and of the CC of Canada to know that you can not base a statement off of one page of such a document.
I commend you on being polite about it though, unlike some people that would say "you don't know what you're talking about, where do you get your information" and with arrogance, only to be fully dicredited when the proof is provided.
And the only reason why I bring this up is because I have repeatedly heard similar claims, even by a few right wingers and moderates, that take the same position you do, but can NEVER, and I mean NEVER point to the specific article or articles that substantiate that claim.
Well, it sounds like I have a new task at hand. Don't forget all of these acts are written with the intention that you "don't" understand them.
At the same time I feel the claim by Toro is not factual or has any claim to it based on the portion of the ACT mentioned by himself. After reading so many ACTS....it is my personal believe.
