Murgen said:Got to remember that a lot of countrys businesses moved out of the USA and the growth came from having to import goods that were in Canada and the USA before moving.
What does that have to do with the overall economies. If they are growing that means more jobs, higher pay etc.
It comes down to growth of the economy, competition, and exposing your competitive product to a higher poulation/market.
I do find it funny that people like Econ and groups like RCALF wave their flag for competition, but are against free trade!
Competition seems to be fine, if it is American company's. Well, one way to create competition/retail margin in the US as a sealed trade jurisdiction, would be to lower wages, which are most often the highest input cost!!!
Another way is to promote the efficiency and lower input costs of your suppliers of raw material.
Murgen, you are correct that R-CALF is against free trade. However, I would like to point out they are pro fair trade. There is a difference.
