When I was growing up, mainstream journalism severely critiqued free trade in Canada. You could hardly pick up a newspaper that didn't offer dissenting opinions about it (especially around election time). It's largely faded from the press as the news has become more and more corporate over the last 15 years (and cut hundreds and hundreds of jobs)(perhaps not in Québec). Cool to see the resurgence skilfully blooming this frigid winter. Isn't it time for the systemic investment in local imaginative Canadian and Québecois invention?
