Unilateral free trade is an oxymoron.

Trump can’t stand strong women who stand up to him. That’s why he detests the likes of Merkel and May.

He also said. "There is always an easy solution to every problem, neat, plausible and wrong" Should be the populist's mantra. Definitely Trump's.

Neither does the US and I could care less what you think about Canadian national identity.

Morgan has just returned to North America. It and cars like the Ariel Atom can't be any more than a small niche because they can't meet the safety standards required of mainstream North American vehicles. Ferrari and Rolls are icons and super expensive. Even the US doesn't have the equivalent. Bugatti, Lamborghini, Bentley, all owned by VW. Rolls, owned by BMW.

I guess 177 people making 1300 cars a year is a major auto make to you. I would love to have a Morgan. I used to go and drool over new Morgans at GB Stern, the western Canada dealer. When I got my first job I spied a nice used BRG +4 sitting on a lot. They wanted $1300 for it but the bank wouldn't lend me the money because I hadn't been working long enough. Never forgiven that bank, the sucker would probably be worth north of 50K now in good shape.

Funny. 177 people making 1300 cars a year. Britain is a great place for specialty makes and race cars but all its big names are now foreign owned.

Name one form Britain.

You want the government to start a vehicle company? 4.5B for Transmountain would be chicken feed in comparison. Developing an new car from scratch can cost up to 6B and that is for an already established company.

It's certainly revisionist all right and it sure has a fixation on Jews. Apparently Britain was responsible for WW2 and not Germany. Apparently Germany didn't invade neutrals Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, Yugoslavia or Greece. People sent to death camps were just "prisoners". What were their crimes pray tell?

We'll handle them in court

The Germans backed Lenin because they knew he would take Russia out of the war.

Hope you would enjoy your time in the army. Switzerland has always had compulsory military service, Sweden discontinued it at the end of the Cold War but has just brought it back. Countries that choose to have no allies, have to look after themselves.

Trump demonstrates his astounding knowledge of geography. Spain should build a wall. How dangerous could such a superior intellect be?

Ya, we should renounce democracy because we can't afford it. Unlike the US under Trump which is renouncing democracy but can afford it. US Deficit to top 1 Trillon in 2019.

DoFo comes out swinging on agriculture and supply management.

There are but wasted on angry idiots who can't comprehend them.

"That guy" knows as much about the present state of negotiations as you and I.

Maybe Everyone should be scared This article pertains to today's Poland but applies to the right wing populist movements that are gaining strength in many places, including Trump's. We are in a dangerous time.

I agree, they are a distraction but I also don't think they have much real influence on the negotiations either way.

It's a good question and we don't know how serious they are about "all this feminist stuff", or whether they were just chips to be thrown in and bargained away.

You sound like the defeatist. All you people condemning Trudeau for not making a speedy deal think we should have folded like a cheap suit in front of Agent Orange's bluster. Drag it out as long as necessary to get a deal for Canada and if we can't, walk away. This is supposed to be a negotiation, not a capitulation. If supply management can be part of NAFTA, so can softwood lumber, etc. There is no reason for us to be the only one to give. The clown down south can rant all he wants but he can't change the fact that Canada is by far an away the biggest destination for US exports. He can't change that but we can. Any agreement made must be approved by Parliament and Congress. It will be subject to plenty of debate before it is passed, or not.

I think it would be great not to need imports but I am wondering if Energy East is viable without a large export market. Will companies want to build it without such a market and will they want to go through all the BS involved in building (or not) a pipeline in Canada?

Bernier is an isolationist when it comes to immigration and a globalist when it comes to trade.

Yup.
