Ah, yes. Which is why I love the film "The Corporation". The country with the absolute worst labour laws and environmental laws has a competitive advantage. Perhaps we should go back to having slaves as it would give us a competative advantage over other countries? Sometimes doing the morally right thing will have economic repercussions. I loved when Harper stood up to the Chinese on human rights, economics be damned. Sometime you just have to do the right thing.
