Reply #11: As a soon-to-be-victim

[Mother Jones]

I'm not against giving India, China etc a better life, in principle....I really do believe they deserve a chance at these jobs too. But I think there should be guidelines on how to go about it. (or rather, how not to go about it)

Allowing corporations to slash 10,000 + jobs a year, only to send them overseas, all the while, offering tax breaks to these same companies is insane! Especially when coupled with a govt who's attitude is "let the market work it out".

Suicide pact indeed!!


Neither the Cons nor the Liberals care enough to do something about this. Either that, or they're too scared to take on the WTO, whom I suspect is the REAL culprit in this.

So what do you (and I mean everyone) think will happen to us?

Will we evolve into pre-Peron Argentina? ....middle-class squeezed out, leaving the rich and the poor?

I would have thought, with soaring unemployment that the NDP would make substantial gains, yet that isn't the case.
