Wrigley Canada to close Toronto gum factory

[damngrumpy]

Remember that wonderful free trade deal that was touted as the savior of Canada?
It was really based on a race to the bottom mentality who will work the cheapest
regardless of the experience or knowledge they have. Its also a case of attract the
company from anywhere it save us from having to develop our own industries and
companies we'll just pay foreign companies tax concessions to come here or we'll
use that to keep them. When we no longer shell out public money that is what a
tax break is, they will leave.
Our country should in fact recoup any monies the company ever got in tax concessions,
Things are about to get tight in the economy and just how tight we don't yet know.

Singapore has done that.

You can only buy it from a doctor there.

Chewing gum should be outlawed forthwith. It's a scourge on humanity. My government will ban it immediately when I'm Prime Minister.

You sound so much like a socialist. I'm sure you're proud.

I was wondering why none of the usual suspects blame the Conservative, since Mulroney was the one that signed the agreement with the U. S. (Just one of the things that turned me against him, because during the elections he was against it, and I had voted for that party)

But I just remembered that "Crétin" signed the second one

That explains it :lol:

By saying that you can only buy chewing gum from a doctor in Singapore?

The FTA was one of the few good thing the Conservatives have done...that and replacing the MST with the GST. I can understand why you would have a problem with the FTA. You're one of the socialists that pretends to be conservative that I keep refering to

By wanting to ban things. Why do you have to stick your nose in other people's freedom? Is that just a Brittish thing?

Name a society in which NOTHING is banned.

So since somethings are banned, let's ban silly things....gotcha. No problem spending tax payers dollars enforcing silly bans. You truly are a socialist aren't you?
