Ok, so, how about this. Instead of subsidizing big business by just giving them $80M (knowing full well that they will, within three years, once again threaten to fold) how about telling them to get stuffed and giving the $80M to the workers who will be laid off?

Now tell me, dear readers, as a conversational exercise: what is the difference?

PS: Free trade isn't free.

Conservatives would consider that a social program and, therefore, evil.

"Free" trade is even more expensive now than when I fought against it 20 years ago.

BTW, you sounded good on CBC this morning! :-)

Hey Renee,

I'm waiting to see an October 14th post. I know it's coming.

Poke poke poke.

PS: PLEASE remove zero's and the letter "O" from your Captcha. I forget it's hex and it screws me up.

And sometimes the case isn't very obvious (the letter "c" for example).

bah!

For you, darling, anything.

It is coming. As soon as I get finished giving interviews and going crazy :)
