NONE of the governments really want free trade.Only the people want that! They all want trade manipulated to Their advantage or the advantage of a select group of their supporters.So Trump points out that this manipulation has actually favoured countries like China AND Canada.He may be right,actually.The fact that America and Canada and Europe, for that matter, may actually be exploiting the cheap labour in Third World countries doesn’t seem to be part of that calculation.The governments of those Third World countries are more than happy to oblige in that exploitation as they are working as well for the privileged sectors,whether oligarchs or government party members and their friends,of their own society.What a mess! What injustice and inhumanity in all of this!There may,in fact, be only one viable solution.Roll back the Industrial Revolution and bring back local artisanal production,a much more satisfying process on all levels including the human one.( I love my shirwal/kameez suits made by a local Pakistani tailor and they are less expensive than those other ‘suits’ out there lol) But that shift is not likely to occur.So we wait patiently for the coming Apocalypse lol
