ARE YOU KIDDING? Harper would put up a fiercer fight than Mr. Trudeau against the USA.. Some people have this strange feeling that Harper would sell-out to the Americans. None of that occurred when he was in charge. . Our trade relationship with them is as good as it will get right now. Justin will stumble, but look good. That's not what a country "wants" if we get into a fierce trade fight with Trump . Justin is too sweet a man to be put in charge of this. "Hardball" will have to be played. And Justin can only throw a "soft-ball. " People said twenty five years ago that the Mulroney government was "selling-out" when it brought in free trade with the USA. Well, since then, Liberal governments have endorsed and expanded it and the NDP wouldn't have even stopped NAFTA if they'd won last year's election. On trade, we should go with somebody that is good with numbers rather than the rich young man.
