The whole concept looks attractive only if you don't look at the whole concept. In the end it ficks you bad. Free trade only works for the larger economy. If the larger economy is not reasonable about tariffs then no trade works good. We have lost all trade wars with the US since 1870. In south Ontario, our linen industry died and never recovered due to cheap competition from the US. So whole towns that served that industry became stagnant and their growth never recovered.

If the big guy does not play fair, it matter not whether you call trade free or you don't. It won't be. In the end if we have the resources we need, we should make what we need and never mind trying to compete with the US. In the long run it will be better. Remember who brought free trade in.. Mulroney and the US.
