    Nope, re-read what I wrote. What in there says you can’t come up with a valid opinion?

    It’s more “your opinion doesn’t seem to give any weight, relief or aid to those who are affected in any way shape or form.”

    It’s a trade negotiation, it’s literally all about the jobs.

    I get that you aren’t affected but thousands are.

    By your logic, we should just not do anything with our largest trading partner and I dunno, just wait for almost half a decade until we like the administration?

      Ah my bad so you have some established right to indicate which of us can speak as to what’s best for the Canadian people (you) and the other can’t (me). Because…reasons?

      I’m trying here man. I’m literally just trying to establish a baseline. You’re not making it easy

        so you have some established right to indicate which of us can speak as to what’s best for the Canadian people (you) and the other can’t (me). Because…reasons?

        What in what I wrote leads you to this?

        I correctly noted this doesn’t affect you and that it does affect mamy.

        Your position, as far as I can tell is:

        If the reason for doing the wrong thing is “the jobs” then you need to rethink your reasoning.

        … It’s bad policy to concede to the US right now.

        I think that the jobs really do matter to a lot of people and that when the US has significantly more leverage you Canada has very few options.

        Again, noting that your position really hurts a lot of people doesn’t mean you can’t have a position rather, it’s that you support a position that really hurts people.
