Dear Friends: "Let's get things back into perspective here!"
Even though no mention of it was made on American TV the Canadian channels were covering the visit of Justin Trudeau to the White House today so he and Donald Drumpf could talk about free trade!
As usual I didn't have the patience or the stomach to listen to much of what Trumplethinskin had to say ...., but remarks by a Michigan Congressman who was the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee caught my attention right away. (The Ways and Means Committee is the group that actually drafts laws like the Free Trade Agreement.)
This guy, ( I should have paid attention to his name) sort of alluded to considerations for a "Bi-Lateral Agreement" between Canada and the United States since both countries are losing too many jobs to the low cost factories 'south of the border down Mexico way!'
I have to tell ya that it is so refreshing to listen to somebody talk sense down there in the States for a change! He kept alluding to the fact that Canada and the United States are so alike in culture, language and economies while Mexico ......., is not!
Makes sense to me!
The way I see it anyway!
