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.
