I agree strongly that free trade is an important consideration, and if it was the only issue in this election the choice would be clear, given the candidate's speeches. Obama's rhetoric was not well received here. That said, it is but one issue amongst many, and while the Republicans should be stronger proponents of free trade that hasn't materialized in support for trade issues such as the softwood lumber tarriff war. Our local forestry industry was decimated by protectionist barriers that were supported by a Republican president that wasn't following the free trade principles his party espouses. Makes you wonder what you can depend on.

PS: I see we've moved from You Tube to the CTV, a big step forward.
