China is NOT a "good alternative" unless you want to do business with a maffia state with its boot on the neck of its own people with NO regard for rule of law. The US elects a dumbass who says racist things and you'll trade it up for a fascist regime committing cultural genocide and threatening our allies?

You like the idea of Chinese companies being able to import their own workforce?

You like the idea of China not abiding by a single thing it says it will in the agreement?

You like the idea of China forcing Canadian tech companies to give up their trade secrets then China closing down the Canadian contingent of the company in China so the local state-owned corps don't have to compete?

Trudeau is an absolute idiot when it comes to China as are the Bay St. Libs. Don't by his bullshit. An FTA with China is bad news.
