Right – Trump wants greater access to Canada’s agricultural resources.
Here we go. Other countries want our clean air, soil, and water to provide their healthy food but they don't want to pay the salaries needed to provide taxes to sustain that healthy environment. Like Heinz and their ketchup – OK to grab up safe high quality Canadian tomatoes from Leamington Ontario but don’t want to lessen profits by paying the salaries to package them in Canada. Trump's policies will only magnify this type of exploitation .

If I were trade minister I’d say – a condition of access to our raw resources is that a substantial proportion of processing has to happen here. This is needed to sustain the health of the raw resources. Stop the “strip and ship” - it benefits the few, and in the long run harms the many.
