She had no choice give Trump kept talking about bringing jobs back to America. (now that may all be lies, but it put Clinton in a position, where she had no choice). So if the Americans don't "ACTIVATE" THE tpp, it is doubtful Canada will. e.a.f.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06244666617774794918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-64337489496855375082016-03-22T17:02:16.683-04:002016-03-22T17:02:16.683-04:00To Anonymous: The Trudeau government has accomplis...To Anonymous: The Trudeau government has accomplished more in 4.5 months than Harper did.

Confident, optimistic economies are willing to invest in their future, in their children's future. For 10 years, the previous government did nothing but shave away and cut instead of investing in the kind of tomorrow that Canadians need. This is the budget that Canadians have been asking for through the last election campaign. This is what we are delivering to grow the economy and help the middle class."Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630890163958807048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-81484506442178272382016-03-22T07:27:54.340-04:002016-03-22T07:27:54.340-04:00hi e.a.f...there are fewer ex-PMO freaks than ther...hi e.a.f...there are fewer ex-PMO freaks than there were before.

They lie about everything, and think they'll never be caught.

This is not just on one or two issues, this is on a whole range of issues that you said, at the time when you were in government, were very principled positioned that you took, everything from getting rid of the long-form census, now you’re in favour of it coming back. The deal with Saudi Arabia, the arms deal, you didn’t want to say anything about it then, but now you want complete transparency. So a lot of people might saying wait a minute, I don’t get this. How could you have had those strongly held positions on principle six months ago and now those principles don’t exist anymore?<br /><br />Rona Ambrose--- That’s not—I just don’t believe that to be the case at all Tom.
