  • so you have some established right to indicate which of us can speak as to what’s best for the Canadian people (you) and the other can’t (me). Because…reasons?

    What in what I wrote leads you to this?

    I correctly noted this doesn’t affect you and that it does affect mamy.

    Your position, as far as I can tell is:

    If the reason for doing the wrong thing is “the jobs” then you need to rethink your reasoning.

    … It’s bad policy to concede to the US right now.

    I think that the jobs really do matter to a lot of people and that when the US has significantly more leverage you Canada has very few options.

    Again, noting that your position really hurts a lot of people doesn’t mean you can’t have a position rather, it’s that you support a position that really hurts people.



  • Nope, re-read what I wrote. What in there says you can’t come up with a valid opinion?

    It’s more “your opinion doesn’t seem to give any weight, relief or aid to those who are affected in any way shape or form.”

    It’s a trade negotiation, it’s literally all about the jobs.

    I get that you aren’t affected but thousands are.

    By your logic, we should just not do anything with our largest trading partner and I dunno, just wait for almost half a decade until we like the administration?

    Admittedly, a lot of taxes are misspent but a quarter of your income seems a bargain.

    For example, I imagine getting to your jon would be really difficult without roads. Or a semi functional legal system that stops people from just robbing your business whenever they feel like it. Or a system that enforces contracts and property rights.

    I’ve had a job where I didn’t pay taxes. It didn’t end well.
