- Although I disagree with Hurtig's economics, (it is rather naive to
- believe that Canada can dictate the rules of international trade to
- Japan, Germany, and the USA), this is a good development, because
- Hurtig has infinitely more intelligence and integrity than most
- NDP'ers and Liberals.
-
- The reality is that we have to play on a playing field ultimately
- designed and marked by the economic superpowers, and the economic
- nationalists fail to realize this, but Hurtig will at least make
- the economic nationalist case in a much more coherent way, and
- he is a democrat bent on democratizing our government more than
- it is already, and I wholeheartedly support that...even if I
- disagree with his economics.
