Pro-Integration Corporations Should Not Be Shaping Canada's Economic Policy

No. We're as close as any two sovereign nations can be but still jealously guarding our independence. Each has outstanding attributes of governing: eg: our civil court system is more equitable and easier to access to the small business and individual; the Canadian healthcare system delivers excellent care to all levels of society whereas we do not; the parlimentary government is less stable than our three independent branches with clear separation of powers and strong judicial review. There others that an investigative essay could describe; but not here.

It's better to be close friends than move in together and risk the best of each.

"So, opposing the SPP and NAU are xenophobic actions?"

No, in my view, the so-called 'Council of Canadians' relentlessly promotes/practices a brand of strident nationalism which can reasonably be defined as xenophobic.

Seemingly Marxism primarily drives this outfit's actions/policies in any area related to, especially international, economics.

If this sounds contradictory it's because the entire Canadian left is a bundle of contradictions & hypocrisy particularly when it comes to anything to do with nationalism and/or sovereignty:

Not withstanding that all of them are anti-American differing only by varying degrees of fanaticism, whenever one of their Stateside fellow travelers, like Michael Moore or Bill Clinton, comes to visit they'll literally kiss their backsides.

However, just let any American to the political right of, say, Joe Lieberman so much as cast a stray glance across America's northern border and well ...

"... the socialist government of Canada ..."

NAFTA is not a merger of countries, and the United States and Canada have had close trade ties for much of both countries' history.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

The United States and Canada are not any two random countries. They both share a very close relationship with each other.

For you hedgetrimmer.

If you mention a person in a comment, you generally should post to them, too.

I swear that I REALLY am going to buy stock in Reynolds Wrap!

Most of them think it is already and have done, for more than a century. Yes, that is a joke, but only sort of. LOL

I didn't mention a person in that post.

[hedgetrimmer]

Huh?

[hedgetrimmer]

Ok

[hedgetrimmer]

I guess you're the expert. That must be why our elected leadership is going so socialist, they're pandering to the Candadian contingent.

[nopardons]

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.......

Look, you are the LAST person on the face of the earth, to try to smear me, or anyone else, with such schoolyard tactics; honey. You're the one who keeps posting from lefties and agreeing with them.

[hedgetrimmer]

I don't smear.

[nopardons]

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[hedgetrimmer]

Is this a smear?
