so, apparently, nafta is now about embracing diversity; i suppose that the next step is accusing opponents of being racists.

i grasp that there's a certain level of political theatre here, and i'm not really opposed to this in principle, but this is not a smart strategy and it's going to badly backfire.

but, i mean, i think it's kind of too late. justin trudeau has aligned himself with the crumbling neo-liberal order, and appears to be too stupid to figure out what's happening around him. his government is going to fall as a consequence of his stubbornness.

the only solution at this point is a caucus revolt.
