"Justin Trudeau took the opportunity on Halloween to dawn his favourite Clark Kent costume and flash a Superman logo while walking through the House of Commons. Not surprisingly, the mainstream media swooned over Trudeau’s antics. “It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s Justin Trudeau!” read near-identical social media posts from Global News and the Toronto Star. It’s bad enough that we have a Prime Minister who prefers to play dress up than to face the important issues of the day: Islamist terrorism, burgeoning debt, threats to national unity, and the grim ethical issues and conflicts within his own government. Do we really need journalists cheering him on? " 我们的总理更喜欢玩扮装游戏而不是面对诸如伊斯兰恐怖主义，急剧增长的债务，国家统一面临的威胁，和他自己政府内部灰暗的道德问题与利益冲突之类的当前重要问题。这已经够糟糕了。我们还需要记者们给他鼓劲儿吗？
“I fear that the NAFTA re-negotiation is going very badly,” wrote Harper in his October 25 letter. “I also believe that President Trump’s threat to terminate NAFTA is not a bluff… I believe this threat is real.” One of Canada’s top economic experts Jack Mintz visited D.C. and echoed Harper’s concerns. “His pessimism seems warranted.” This should be a wakeup call. It’s hard to exaggerate how much Canada depends on trade with our U.S. neighbours, which exceeded $650 billion last year and accounted for about two-thirds of our total trade. 这是一个警讯。怎么说加拿大对我们的美国邻居的贸易依赖都不过分。这贸易去年超过6千5百亿，约占我国总贸易额的三分之二。 Tens of thousands of Canadian jobs are on the line. Now is the time for Trudeau to reach out to Trump, find common ground and ensure that the free trade position with our neighbour and closest ally is not jeopardized. 成千上万的加拿大工作岗位面临威胁。是小土豆主动联系川普、寻找共同基础以确保我们和我们的近邻和盟国的自由贸易不被危及的时候了。 Instead, Trudeau is making off-the-cuff wise cracks. 然而，小土豆却在毫无准备地乱放炮。 All Canadians should be alarmed. Trudeau needs to grow up, put his petty personal feelings aside, and start doing the serious work required to lead a G7 country. 所有加拿大人应该警醒。小土豆需要长大成人，把他可怜的个人感受放到一边，开始做带领一个G7国家所需要做的那些严肃工作。
加拿大和美国的贸易关系，主要的方面是资源换产品和服务。 油价高的时候，加拿大就会有贸易顺差，油价低的时候，加拿大就会有贸易逆差。 由于油价关系，去年加拿大对美国有 1200 亿贸易逆差，占了贸易额的20%，主要是服务贸易逆差。 加拿大的需求刚性比美国小的多。贸易谈判中，美国是搞不出什么大名堂的。而且这种高度技术性的谈判，个别领导人能起的作用很小。如果出现大意外的后果，比如中国加入WTO那种，那是整个国家的智库都把方向搞错了。
Higher prices, lower profits and $20 billion production lost: That’s what life without NAFTA looks like in Canada
