What kind of compassionate, progressive and educated democrats are these? Like Mr. Flaherty said, if they don't see the inherent positives with free trade between 2 of your top 5 providers of energy, then they're really missing the point. The result of their thoughtless policy would invariably be economic meltdown in Canada and the US (and Mexico... and they think they have illegal immigration problems now...)

Clinton and Obama have exposed themselves as being completely naiive, protectionist and careless. Funny you don't hear the Republicans agreeing with this nonsense. Maybe Democrats aren't as good for Canada as some people think?

Just campaign promises for the rust belt of Ohio. After either is elected, I don't think a lot will change for Canada other than window dressing.
Hey, and if they do pull out, we'd probably be better off joining the Common Market anyways.
