In the era of everyone in the country suddenly being worried about Free Trade, this is a good time for the Liberal Party, both federally and provincially, to fix an elephant in the room.

Why cant we sell Hydro Power directly to American Consumers? Why do we have to pay the middle man? Why is there even a "deal" between Newfoundland and Quebec at all?? Its like Ed trying to sell his car to John, and suddenly Joe jumps in and says "I want 25%. Just cause I say so."

Surely we can wait another few years, until 2041, and then deal directly with utility companies from the US market.

The current set up is not free trade. Actually, its closer to Mafioso style extortion. They do it just cause they can, and no one will stop them.
