5. TRADE BY YEAR

Trade is vital for our economy.
It opens markets, grows
Canadian businesses, and
creates good-paying middle
class jobs – jobs that pay
wages that are 50 percent
higher than industries that are
not export intensive. That is
good news for the middle class
and the communities they call
home.
• CETA was approved by Harper and
finalised by Trudeau
• NAFTA is being renegotiated
• Harper started talks with India. The
issue was India refusal to sign a FIPA
agreement.
• Harper invested in ports like
Montreal, Prince Rupert and
Vancouver.
• TPP was negotiated by Harper and
signed by Trudeau

Pitts is stating the obvious, but the problem is Trudeau has zero or little respect around the
world. Trudeau decided to use foreign affairs to pander for votes in Canada. The problem is
Trudeau does not seem to care if foreign relations are in the toilet.
Trudeau has used foreign policies to pander for votes. Trudeau could care less what relations
Canada has with the rest of the world if he gets both a UN seat and re-elected as the PM!

8. OIL AND THE ENVIRONMENT

• Trudeau never had the answer for economy. Trudeau loves to tout the 1M jobs, but the problem is only about 10% of net new jobs are goods producing. Trudeau has
done little to support MFG and NR sector. BTW: Carbon Tax will not make Canada more competitive! https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-and-beyond-

running at 2.1% - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-gdp-economy-jobs-housing-middle-class-canada-may-2019
