My point is simply that globalization doesn’t have to be a bad word.

Trade between Canada and the US left both countries better off. Largely because we have similar standard of living so neither country was being exploited.

If lawmakers did a better job putting in safeguards into trade laws then globalization wouldn’t be a synonym for exploitation.

I do agree with your point that under current political realities nothing is likely to change. I’m simply hopeful that if enough people become aware of this then policy will eventually shift—rather than respond with a knee jerk cancel all trade reaction that we see today.
