Continental Grift: Why the Liberal Government’s Fixation with Europe Is a Sham
Market diversification is a sensible enough strategy for Canada, but Mark Carney’s fixation on closer ties with Europe is anything but. For one thing, argues business veteran Gwyn Morgan, we’ve already got comprehensive free trade deals with virtually all of Europe. Cozying up further to a dysfunctional, declining EU is pure folly. Far better for the Carney government to focus on Canada’s own self-inflicted economic problems – inflation, taxes, public debt, the disastrous drought in foreign investment. Oh, and the ongoing lack of free trade within our own borders. No need for overseas adventures, notes Morgan; there’s plenty of work to be done at home.
