Last week Prime Minister Stephen Harper concluded a trade mission with China (here), which will open the way for more trade and investment between the two countries. I commend this act, simply because I like to see our trade diverted from US business and NAFTA, which is basically an agreement for American business to buy ours as well as reap and pillage our abundant natural resources, undermine our sovereignty, and strip us of our ability to manage resources by policy action.
I just hope that this doesn't turn into another Free Trade agreement that allows China to do the exact same thing as the US, although I am more comfortable with Chinese foreign policy than I am with that of the US.
