If you don't trust the Bloc, then why would you trust what they have written on paper? If I came to your house to rob you and handed you a piece of paper that says "Don't worry, I'm not robbing you, I'm just helping you to redistribute your wealth, so you can help the less fortunate on the other side of the country. :-)", would you just sit there and say "Ok I trust you, I won't call the cops then"??

They have to get American support as a cap & trade system would not work in just Canada alone. About trusting the Bloc, it's more of a political thing, if they break their deal, they face electoral challenges which I'm sure they are aware of. Remember, all politicians are self-serving, I'm just outline why supporting this coalition is self-serving for them, and to betray it would cause political damage.
You got to step back and look at it analytically versus emotionally.
