Summary: 

As pointed out in an earlier posting Ontario is the only province resisting
the idea of some form of free trade. In a discussion on this topic yesterday
a group of us figured out how to make all the parties happy. What would
happen is that Canada would negotiate some sort of a free trade deal with 
the US and then Ontario could opt out of the agreement. Under such conditions
Ontario would have to maintain its protectionist policies at its taxpayers'
expense instead of forcing the rest of Canada to pay for them. Such an
agreement should keep all sides happy.
