Free Trade works if you want cheap, disposable shit.



Free Trade doesn't work if you want jobs at home.



Take your pick between these two!  You have only two choices, and nothing else!
 Ditto to IH & Mel (the mel who would do better if he didn't use childish nics)



While unnecessary in all cases, it "tends to work" between equally mature countries - Always fails miserable for mature countries dealing with 3rd world counties



In all regards, trade should be based on "roughly equal 2 way trade".



 If you are buying more from any country than you are selling to it  .. you are losing / it is not beneficial in "the overall" to the loser ... period!!







Someone, anyone please show me how the people of Canada win here ..... I mean beyond greedy people wanting cheap disposable crap .. and a few corporations that moved to Mex for cheap labour

We don't win. It's a special deal for the very few.

Mexico has finally opened up it's oilfield services sector to foreign expertise. This is good for senior upstream service hands like me if they want to work in Mexico. But, as the Canada West Foundation cautions the sector will be easy prey for the drug cartels who will likely demand a piece of the action to guarantee the peace.

This par for the course in a lot of the countries I have worked in.

Interesting article. Didn't see anything regarding drug cartels or deals? Mexico will be a big player in the Americas.

No, it did not mention them specifically. It did mention risks they faced including violence and crime. I don't think it would be too much of a stretch if the cartels saw these Canadian cmpanies as a new source of revenue.

Don't think so either. I think Herman was injecting yet another assumption.

Your assumption about Herman would likely be wrong..



We saw a show how the cartels steal fuel from pipelines and resell it..



They also threaten and extort money from Pemex employees..



If they do that to a state owned company and it's employees than they why not foreign contractors?

Who does TD think has the resources to carry out acts of crime and violence against companies and their employees in Mexico? A local youth gang supplementing their bike theft income?



Street lights are brighter than TD.

Boris is out - Looks like May is probable new PM



Gove, a leaver,  is running & second favorite

I am not surprised Boris does not want to be PM.
