I accept his views about present free trade agreements. These agreements don't promote trade based on both parties operating on a level playing field. They generally seem to promote the downward spiral of workers' pay, benefits and working conditions while concentrating wealth in a few hands and increasing the cost of acquiring goods that are produced cheaply. Why does a shirt that costs a dollar to make in Bangladesh sell for $60.00 or more in Toronto? The transportation costs are not that excessive to be sure. On the other side of the coin, why does  a barrel of oil or a cubic metre of natural gas that we produce here in Canadian dollars has to be sold in US dollars to ourselves? Are we better off now in real terms than we were 20 or 30 years ago. I doubt it as do many. Trump will likely not be able to deliver on his promises but he is certainly scaring a lot of warmongers and carpetbaggers in rethinking their pursuits.
