(The Journal, C.B.C., August, 1988). At the same time the Printing Industry of America has stated that it expects to take 500 million dollars out of the Canadian prin- ting market while the Canadian Printing Industries' Association declares that the Free Trade deal will cost three thousand Canadian jobs in that industry. (Print Ac- tion, April, 1988). It only makes sense to recognize that economy of scale puts larger American firms at a distinct advantage over smaller Canadian ones in every sector and that such an advan- tage will result in a massive loss of Cbs. With fewer incomes to be taxed and more people requiring public assistance to the govern- ment will be hard pressed or perhaps unable to 'bail us out". We are repeatedly told that this deal will open wider markets for us, but we should question whether the '"'magic wand" of Free Trade would create more people to buy our goods. Markets bushels of in the U.S. are already being saturated by their own produc- tion. Where then is this greater market for us to come from? In addition, we must fear for our social programs. The average American receives a lower wage than does the average Canadian and is taxed at a considerably lower rate but also receives very little in social services in com- parison to the Canadian worker. If our businesses are to compete with theirs, it seems inevitable that our workers would have to accept lower pay and thus tax dollars which provide our social programs and other services would be reduced significantly. We must ask also why the American Senate was so eager to pass the Free Trade Bill. If they want the deal so badly ve should wonder if it can be as much to our benefit as to theirs and if whether once the door is opened, it can be closed again. To rework an old saying 'When you play games with a gorilla you don't stop when you want to, you stop when he wants to'. It is likely that our American friends do not inten- tionally plan to deplete our resources and disrupt our en- vironment but we must realize how important our water, hydroelectric power and other resources are to them as their own resources become scarce.
