What this article does not mention is that Murray Dobbin is anti-business, anti-conservative and has authored books against various leaders of the Conservative Party for years.
Why do Freepers want to ally themselves with such a radical? I think it is irrational to think that Canada is a threat to the United States. I think that greater ‘harmonization’ of border crossing rules and surveillance and sharing of concerns about radical Islamists in either country is a great idea.
I gathered this guy was a leftist, and probably a raving moonbat leftist, by that little bio. Paul Martin, a leftist, has a “corporate” plan for Canada??? The “Right Wing” remaking of New Zealand (which has a living wage law, and whose politics, I suspect, are somewhat to the left of the US)??? New Zealand did get rid of ag subsidies, however, so maybe I’m wrong on that one?
