Canada keeps signing free trade deals, and few people seem to mind

1. I have been wondering how Trudeau would come down on trade after being elected.

Here, we want to isolate ourselves thinking it is in our long-term interest to trade among ourselves or something.

We'll sit here while the rest of the world passes us by if we are not careful. See what chance we have to pay for universal health care, education, jobs, guaranteed income, etc., trading among ourselves long-term.

Yeah, I know, corporations can sue "sovereign" nations in a tribunal. I bet those same tribunals are in Canada's agreement as they have been in darn near every trade agreement worldwide since 1959. And the tribunals are not skewed in a favor of corporations, look who wins most of them.
