as opposed to who?
The USA aggressively does not want a fair trade deal, and even if they signed one, they would just ignore it.
As opposed to Avi Lewis for one.
Oh fucking please. An actual economist versus a TeeVee Journalist.
Who does that economist serve? The working class, or wealthy CEOs, investors, and company shareholders?
The high speed rail project he's putting in place is, as always, going to be a public-private partnership rather than a public crown corporation like Via Rail is. His affordable housing strategy has simply been "build more homes" and poking for the private sector to do the right thing when they're the ones price gouging us to begin with by treating a home as an investment rather than a human right.
He still hasn't said anything about the efforts of Ford and Smith to further privatise the healthcare industry and how he'd protect public health with the Canada Health Act. His government forced arbitration on airline attendants striking against Air Canada over unpaid work. He's laying the groundwork for a new pipeline when the oil & gas industry has abandoned workers through automation leaving them nowhere else to go, and he's unwilling to ban surveillance pricing when we're in a cost of living crisis.
