I studied with Mel Watkins at U of T. He didn’t make sense then and he doesn’t make sense now. Even my little research company has forged supra-national relationships with other little research companies abroad to everyone’s benefit. Leftists resist globalisation the way King Canute attempted to resist the tide.

Canada avoided recession while Europe and Japan were in its throes because we are in the American economic orbit. NAFTA is the best thing that has happened to regional commerce in a century.

Public ownership? Keep our oil in the ground? Don’t like a company’s social policy abroad — then don’t invest in that company. Embracing entropy, no, no, no is all that Mel Watkins and the Left seem capable of.
