Mr.  Breznitz's  comment "Second, we need to understand that our current system of education does not give Canadians the necessary tools to comprehend what is at stake and make informed decisions. This is correct for both private citizens and policy makers alike"  partially underscores the  problem with the rush to free trade deals.  We are blindly entering Canadian citizens into global contracts and relationships with virtually no preparation and very limited knowledge assuming that they can adapt on the fly into global business and law and cultural sensitivity and appreciation. Our curriculums, let alone our society, are not designed for the existing onslaught of free trade deals Canada is choosing to enter into just to avoid getting left out or left behind.  Citizen are getting left behind if they cannot adapt which is possibly bearable if you are single and living at home but not for the family with a mortgage, young children and a complete or reduced loss of income from relocation
