Seeing Trump's dismantling of Free Trade leads me to reminisce about David Orchard and his strong objection to the Free Trade deal with the US. This is exactly the kind of economic independence the FTA killed. Trump may end up being the correction Canada needed.

If you're wondering how bad misinformation and disinformation in Canada is, The Premiers cut health care, blamed it on the feds, and got away with lying about it.
Canada's Premiers Cut Health Care then Ran a Nationwide Campaign to Blame the Feds Instead. The Scam Worked.

This one historical fact is the most misunderstood event in 🇨🇦.
I am a pragmatist about energy and development, but the entire line that the federal government is to blame for the 2014 oil price crash which was a deliberate act of financial warfare aimed at North American shale producers. Prices dropped 70% in 2 years.

There’s lots that’s wrong with this MOU, but the biggest problem is that it’s based on a completely false telling of history since 2010.
Carney and Smth keep repeating conservative spin that ignores the single biggest oil crash in history in 2014, which in Canada you would think had never happened
