i actually support scrapping these extra-territorial kangaroo courts and returning local sovereignty to the judicial systems of our respective countries.

canadian firms should abide by democratically enacted us law; in turn, american firms should abide by democratically enacted canadian law. i'm not going to wave a flag to stand up for an investor class with a maple leaf on it. i'm on the side of democracy, not on the side of special rights for the upper class.

trudeau is wrong on this point and standing up for the wrong principles  - that is, the ability of capitalist special interest groups to ignore democratically enacted laws - in doing so.
