摘要:The Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has now been in effect for ten years. Media commentators used the occasion to proclaim the FTA a great success, one-sidedly highlighting the rapid growth of exports and, in the case of Jeffrey Simpson, to pour scorn on the Cassandras of the past. Those ten years of recession and anaemic recovery, however, mark easily the worst period since the 1930s for Canadian workers.
