'free trade is just a label for managed trade' - yeah, no such thing as true freedom anywhere, just shuck your clothes and light up a homegrown doobie on the steps of any legislature and you'll find that out quick ... so ok, 'managed' - it's being mismanaged in this case, they cannot hope to impoverish an entire province and substantial parts of other provinces without repercussion .... US companies enjoy considerable net benefit from relatively free 'managed' trade with this nation, at the same time that their captive consumers are getting gouged by this penalty imposed on our production efficiency - quid begets pro, action stimulates reaction, tit forces tat - this trade war is only in its opening stages, and not being an innately militaristic people who cruise about the planet looking for peasants to napalm and rob, we are only now beginning to examine the question of 'what do we do next?' ... here is one suggestion that the most moderate of our unemployed forestry people would reject out of hand as being too limited a response - #reply-16299948 'As governments become increasingly socialist' - actually the opposite direction was the case in this province up to the date on which we were attacked by this US 'Commerce' department bar to commerce - we just voted out the socialist regime that had ruled here for nine years or so, the seats in parliament are now 77-2 against them, something like that, it was quite a decisive mandate and stimulated great hope for positive change here ... however at the moment we are attacked from without and must band together in the most unlikely of alliances, delaying at minimum and quite likely decaying such near-term progression as we would rather have been able to accomplish
