George: How many billions of dollars has this cost us? The only way this would had a chance is if all North America had made the change at the same time. I guess Trudeau figured he was going to detach our land mass at the US border, and float us to Europe. Just imagine how far in debt Canada would be had he tried that one.

The other Trudeau idea that continues to cost us millions everyday is bilingualism. Every package of goods we buy must have the two official languages, but does not require all ingrediants to be listed. I have two small packages on my desk right now, print is so fine I can't read it without a magnifing glass. Now I do agree at 63 my arms are not long enough to read the newspaper anymore without glasses. I think the companies that produce some of these items like the idea of keeping us in the dark.

The interesting fact on this language issue, the Quebecois were 1st off the mark trading south of the border. How many folks down there bothered to talk with them in two official languages? Couple that with the fact Trudeau was dumping so much of our federal tax dollars into Quebec, it allowed them to be competitive south of the border. Now we blame our last 4 Prime Ministers for the debt our country now carries. "BULLFEATHERS"
