Personally speaking, I'd be all for free(r) trade with the Japanese.
However, if you think that the CAW and other unions are upset over the
trade deal with the US, imagine their reaction to the above suggestion.

I'd also be quite happy with closer ties to the EEC. Problem is that
was tried before (by Trudeau, no less) with no success.
