    Whoa, Geoff!! Hold on Harper!!

    Think what you are saying!!
    “Dany Berger” has already assessed this FTA deal as diasterous and unworkable.
    What could Canadians possibly sell to Europe???
    You guys must be crazy!!

    Dany is sure this is a ludicrous move for Canada, and Argentina could not possibly benefit from trade either.
    I mean, yikes, Argentina has already a 4% increase in their economy, without any help from TIT's “predator nations”!

    Mr. Harper, stop!!

    You know, Geoff, I see a day when Brazil will have products manufactured by subcontracting to cheap labour in Argentina, and then sell those goods to Brazil's EU Free Trade partners at a steep profit for Brazil, if Argentina sticks to protectionist Mercosur.
