Free Trade's Big Lie

"If you read any Canadian newspaper, you’ve been treated to the same refrain: NAFTA has been good for Canada. It has led to economic growth and jobs for Canadians. And given that it’s been so wonderful for Canada, the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) could only make things better, right?

What proponents of deep integration are not telling you is this: the notion that NAFTA has been good for average Canadians, Americans and Mexicans is a lie. The truth is that NAFTA has been responsible for growing poverty, the creation of a new underclass called the “working poor,” and the concentration of wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer people." Jean-Yves LeFort

"It doesn't even work for the weaker nation's let alone the US. Free trade when undressed is just large corporations exploiting a cheap labour force, for quick profit." Revolution

One of the tenets of Lefort's truth is, Exports don’t equal jobs!

This can be proven by the fact that there is a disappearing middle class. There is a growing gap between the haves and the have-nots.

Here is the crux of the matter: If NAFTA has created so much wealth, why is poverty growing in all three countries?
