When countries decided to try to end South Africa's apartheid system, they set up a trade embargo to interfere with the free passage of goods. The idea was to destroy South Africa's economy and force the government to change its laws. When Iraq conquered Kuwait, the United Nations set up a trade embargo. The idea was that by interfering with trade they could punish Iraq and force it to withdraw.
Now I see a headline, Rae vows to ignore free trade deal (Aug. 25). It appears the NDP wants to interfere with Ontario's trade. This will damage the economy. What have we done that Bob Rae is treating Ontario residents like those of a hostile country?
