The pro's and con's here in my opinion are irrelevant; how we got here, that's the more important question. The macro problem with Canada is we have no ability to negotiate on an international stage. Governments, on both sides of the isle, have made our country entirely dependent on other countries and because of that, we have no leverage. We're a pinata. Constantly bashed around, spilling our candy for others to sweep up. The U.S. killed the Avro Arrow and today, they've killed the C-Series.  The parallels are astonishing. It's time we punt our PM, put in someone who recognizes our strengths, defends and grows them. That's the only way Canada can ever compete globally. This deal is simply a microcosm of the problems we have in this country.
