Brent:

We need you to put together a policy proposal that will further our aims that your MP can discuss with Stephen Harper. If we can get Stephen motivated on it, we can start to move on this.

I suggest a go-slow approach at the moment. Don't mention federation at this point, yet. Perhaps start with negotiating a free trade arrangement for Canada with the Australia/New Zealand CER, CARICOM and the EU to begin with. Have all of these overseen by some type of trade council which can lead to building new political ties.

The Conservatives have got to be made to realise that Canadians do not want further economic integration with the US and that policy will only lead to the party remaining in opposition. However, the above proposal will diversify our trade more, create a lot more jobs, and can help the Conservatives get to power.

I would be more than happy to back you up on this with letters to Stephen Harper. Let's discuss it.

...both Scott Reid (Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington) and Daryl Kramp (Prince Edward-Hastings) have indicated interest in my Commonwealth Free Trade tome and have indicated that they will be attending the book launch, to be held in the new year...still waiting on the publisher...
