People, including politicians, got conned by the economists who claimed that trade would enhance prosperity and thus people would live better. It turns out that they were talking about the human population as a whole, and were correct in that previous third world countries like China got massive increases in standard of living, while most of us in the developed world sank like a stone. Well, its over now - the Chinese live well - most of us  in the developed world are worse off than we were forty years ago, so dump the trade nonsense and go back to a protected economy that actually works for Canadians. Nobody believes the lies about trade making us better off anymore. We need a trade deal with China like we need Ebola.
