Title: CETA was initiated by former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Th Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement

and yet this is rarely acknowledged

Harper did all the heavy lifting yet Trudeau got all the credit merely for signing it

The treaty's objective was to strengthen Canadas ties with Europe and to diversify trade away from the USA

So for those Americans and Right Wingers who think that Canada joining the EU or becoming aligned with it is liberal or leftist doctrine, it is not.

It was the idea of a Conservative who rarely if ever gets credit for his work. Stephen Harper.

Given the actions of an America first president I highly applaud the actions of our former conservative Prime Minister.

I'm not familiar with it but it sounds like Harper was a Canada first prime minister just as Trump is an America first president. Looking after their own country is the first duty of any leader.
