Right On, Jack!
Canada's NDP leader Jack Layton sounds pretty confident that he has the ear of his targets, he looks kind of with the program as well, upbeat and certain of himself. A man who has just re-discovered his mission.
Speaking of what an NDP government would opt for, in enacting measures that would most certainly resonate with unions, with all those people who have latterly lost industrial jobs, the out-of-work loggers and fishers, the auto industry. He would undertake to, if not entirely scrap NAFTA, then re-write the rules to benefit Canada.
That's as likely to be agreed to by the United States which took great pains to write the rules to benefit themselves, as the potential for the NDP to become the government of Canada. But this is a free society where people can say whatever they please, and make promises as well, since this is exactly what politicians do.
He would, moreover, take steps to block foreign takeovers of Canadian companies. And this proposal is certain to raise a whopping big hiccough of appreciation throughout the bottom-to-middle layers of Canadian society, most of whom feel pretty hard done by at any given time.
Here's another winner, appealing to the traditional hewers-of-wood and drawers-of-water condition Canada traditionally found itself in. The NDP would bring forward legislation banning or limiting the export of raw logs to the U.S., taking measures to promote processing of the wood in Canada. Yay! Go Jack Layton...!
And how about tightening regulation of energy exports to the U.S.; example the TransCanada Keystone pipeline to transport crude oil from Alberta to refineries in the U.S. Midwest. "What country could be so idiotic that it wouldn't build refineries in our own country? [The answer is] Canada." Yes, undeniably yes.
And forget tax cuts to corporations, they don't need more of our taxpayer funding. Put the money to good use on infrastructure and assistance in modernizing for failing companies. As for ordinary Canadians; battle high credit card interest rates by capping them at 5% above prime.
Right on Jack, we're with you. There are a lot of people who reflect your introspective views and methodologies for fairness. What better time than when the U.S. economy is set to hit the rails? The Democrats are falling all over themselves during this pre-presidential election free-for-all, piously announcing similar mirror-image solutions to your own.
Speak with Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama lately?
There are some in the know who claim that should Canada be impolite and impolitic enough to get into a hissy-fit retaliatory exposition with the United States we'll be doing a graceful head-spinning downturn faster than you can plead NAFTA!
