Disclaimer & comment rulesI can't help but blame this on Obama. His stonewall approach to our northern neighbors has convinced them to look elsewhere for business, like Communist China, and now, the puppet confederation of South American nations. Someone needs to tell the Canadians that these guys are bad news. Thieves and liars, only out to cheat every country they deal with. I actually had a lot of respect for Harper, but if he is gullible enough to climb into bed with Mercosur, then I have doubts about the man's ability to lead.
Mar 23rd, 2012 - 02:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0Who needs friends like the Botox Queen, Lapdogs in Chief, Lugo and Mujica, Double-Standard Rousseff, and our favorite commie fatass, Hugo Chavez? This would also entail having to converse with Hugo's sock-puppet, Correa, and (in my opinion) the most hilariously inept leader on the continent, Evo Morales.
Does Harper truly want to attend meetings where coca leaves are offered to chew, and 90% of the “discussion” is KFC screaming and bashing her fists on the table so hard, molten plastic leaks from her nose?
I'd rather have a sit-down with Kim Jong Un than this ragtag disaster squad.

@ 3 Yes it was. But Cristina de Kirchner always find a new way to f*ck the people in the *rse.
Mar 23rd, 2012 - 04:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0@1 Stefan, your comment was one of the most xenophobic a had read in mercopress in the last year. A shame on you !!!!
Mar 23rd, 2012 - 04:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0@5, It's a kid with no shame and a moron that never traveled and never read history books, what do you expect. It's a great example of how terrible the US educational system is.
Mar 23rd, 2012 - 05:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0@1 At least you have to say Kim Jong Un is consistent. KFC is just all over the shop.
Mar 23rd, 2012 - 06:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0He's making a mistake going to Mercorsur, it doesn't function!
Mar 23rd, 2012 - 07:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0He'd be better going to Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil individually. No point going to Argyland as they don't let anyone import anything.

Essential medicine that you can't get anywhere else? nope...

At the Asia-- Pasific Economic Cooperation Leaders' summit in Honolulu 2011,Canada,Mexico and Japan stated their intent to join to TPP ( Trans Pasific Partnership)..
Mar 23rd, 2012 - 11:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0Other regions,such as EU ...MERCOSUR were much more integrated in the world economy in term of institutional standarts.Since 2000 however the number of bilateral and plurilateral trade initiatives involving East Asian Countries has surged....by the end of 2011 almost 150 initiatives had been proposed..negotiated and concluded....
The East Asian Countries that are so far most active in establishing inconnected relations are Singapore,Thailand,Korea,China....
The EU and MERCOSUR should be more active and seek to strengthen
trade ties between these TPP countries.
OF course ,there are many options to use under the bilateral negotiations ....I think one of them would be to revive global trade talks by offering more concessions on market access for agricultural products from developing countries .....................
Everybody wants to get into bed with Mercosur!! except The UK. Boy,

@ 15 You should have said “it's a shame” not “is a shame”. Remember: “it”
Mar 23rd, 2012 - 04:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you are black, paint yourself white, and people will not be racist against you anymore. Be happy Vietnam :)
The micro management of the RG economy just goes on and on. they must surely be in serious financial trouble if this is happening:

money is obviously haemorrhaging out of the country at an alarming rate. I thought that this was just a Repsol thing; obviously not.
Now their biggest power distributor is running out of money due to the Govt's political decision to buy votes through huge subsidies that are crippling the firm:

Mar 23rd, 2012 - 06:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“more concessions on market access for agricultural products from developing countries”
In return for what exactly?
@13 aussie sunshine
The EU, and Britain is part of that, are talking to mercosur.
Although it does look like individual bi-lateral deals will probably be the outcome, probably not including Argentina.
@ 15 Vietnam
Spend much time on those sort of websites do you?
We wonder if [15] understands that by posting link to these people, he is in fact helping them to spread the word..
Mar 23rd, 2012 - 06:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@5 - Sorry I insulted your PC sensibilities there. Just to clarify, I was aiming my distaste at the leaders of these countries. The people are mostly just victims of their oppressive governments.
Mar 23rd, 2012 - 08:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6 - Fido Dildo! Hey, I was wondering where you were. Of course you would defend your own government. After all, without them, where would you be? Heaven forbid you might have basic rights, huh?
@15 - I'm guessing you're from Vietnam? Are you annoyed that I mentioned Communist China? Being a satellite state of China, I'm sure insulting the mother country has greatly offended you, and I apologize. I'm not going to say anything bad about the Vietnamese people. I know many, who were forced to flee here when the North started slaughtering them, a little like how the South American military dictators “disappeared” their political enemies.
aparently CFK keeps having nightmares about the british,

Man, it must be really bad there now.
Our Canadian cousins, you'll see British flags everywhere in Canada, almost all their states have our flag, apart from Quebec.

What history has Argentina got? Military governments and fascism!
@23 - The British have the Windsor Queen, Argentina have the Botox Queen.
Mar 24th, 2012 - 01:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0Seems that the canadians are getting crazy, blinds or are definitely fools. Or maybe is their good works period.
Mar 24th, 2012 - 02:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Canada and Argentina have a lot to talk about, like shale oil for instance, shit loads of it in Argentina, and Canada is expert in the field!
Mar 24th, 2012 - 02:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0Canadians however will be “in the driving seat” as CFK needs them far more than they need her, and they know that. As does everyone.
the islanders are increasingly alone

Mar 24th, 2012 - 03:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0At some point you will wake up and find “Las Malvinas” was all just a bad dream.
Meanwhile back in the real world Argentina goes to rat shit.
