My question still stands... What direct and tangible experience do you have in judging what are 'reasonable' regulations?

Much like the watery phrase of 'fair share', is a continually moving target

Of course things are a moving target.

But we begin to learn about minimum standards for things like wages, for example.

And that's precisely why there needs to be an international standard.
How about we stick to pipelines, and leave you communist pipedreams at the door.

I've listened to you whine about going off topic and red herrings just one to many times.

Ok, min wage is a good example. It too is a moving target relative to the economy of the time in addition to the location/region of where the individual resides.

Interestingly enough, as the economy swings, I have never seen the min wage adjusted downwards to a lower economy - it only moves upwards.

Regardless, I will again ask the question: How are you experienced in determining 'reasonable' regulations and what's not to say that they are already in place?

So now you want globalism?

Make up your mind.

Wages should definitely be regulated on an international basis.

It would prevent one of the most harmful aspects of the free market, which is giving competitive advantage to a state that makes its citizens slaves while others that actually adhere to human rights standards suffer financially.

It would move U.S. and EU demand for manufacturing goods from Mexico to Canada, for instance.

Der Leader told him they aren't enough.

Multiple the above with all of the ails bombarding society, and we transform into a nation of fact finding Committees that studies everything and gets nothing done

And we have Greece.

Hence why we should never allow the NDP or the Liberals to control the country.

I will give Ontario as a prime example. With over 50% of the provincial budget allotted for labour.

F@cking ridiculous.
