US Government Attacks Cdn Service Production

The U.S does a better job at actually standing up for job losses, then what our government does. We give contracts to American companies and loose Canadian jobs, but that's o.k with our government. Cowards.

I'm surprised that the movie "Dawn of the dead" wasn't mentioned. This is another American movie that is being shot in Toronto. I'm a fan of these zombie types of movies. I'm anxious to see this one. Its something like the "Returning of the living dead" that came out in the 80's. If you have the new windows media player, when you open it up it up under "Media Guide" you should see the option to see a clip of the movie.

The US and Canadian governments have no one to blame but themselves for drawing up a trade agreement that liberalize these kinds of things.

<p>Raymond Moley, a journalist and prominent figure in Franklin Roosevelt's administration during World War II, said, "Ultimately, a politician's considerations are not based on truth or fact; they are based on what the public will conceive to be truth or fact."</p> <p>And in this election year a large part of the American Congress is in thrall to The Mob In The Village Square, which has found it's voice in George W. Bush and his feel-good, bumper sticker style. The current political flap over outsourcing---and at present it may be nothing more than that---is being led by a surprisingly small number of noisy Neanderthals. Perhaps most visible among them is CNN's Lou Dobbs, a media fixture of some prominence whose motivation may be suspected of being as narrow and self-serving as that of a Rush Limbaugh. The cynicism amongst journalists concerning political ideologies is almost a badge of the trade, and Dobbs' sudden birth of expressed concern smacks of a political evangelism that is, at the least, suspect.</p> <p>But amongst the fields of weeds are calmer voices, most notably that of Alan Greenspan, the Federal Reserve Chairman who, in comments before the House Education Committee on March 11th, cautions against rushing into protectionist trade measures, noting that "These alleged cures could make matters worse rather than better" and that "They would do little to create jobs and if foreigners were to retaliate, we would surely lose jobs."</p> <p>And in the May/June issue of <i>Foreign Affairs</i> there is an excellent article against the current furor over outsourcing entitled "The Outsourcing Bogeyman" written by Daniel Drezner, a political science professor, that appeals to calmer minds. The article is available <a href="http://foreignaffairs.org/">on-line</a> and worth reading, but be warned that it is a little long for some Internet readers, running to more than 12 pages of printed text. You might want to save it and read at your leisure.</p> <p>I dare say that the noisy utterances of a few American legislators is more in the nature of a moist finger raised to test the direction of the wind rather than an attack on Canada. It is not in the general nature of Canadians to subject those with whom they differ to the noisiest kind of irresponsible bombast, but were they to do so, the strident pronouncements of insecure politicians would be quickly silenced.</p> <p>I fervently hope that this hot and dry, perverse wind has begun to blow itself out. The most encouraging sign that it may be happening is in the steadily dropping support amongst Americans for the Bush crusade as revealed in polls of all stripes.</p><p>---<br>le furet
