We've experienced first hand the deindustrialization created by free trade. We've lost plenty and there's more to lose. Most people I know in real life do not like or want free trade.

You may be surprised but a lot of people today, normal real life people, do not believe that the completely free market is the best economic model for their wellbeing. Our prime minister himself expressed this opinion in his book Values and during his election campaign. You might think this is meaningless. Many of us don't and we're in a good intellectual company.

Also, I see you've switched the sockpuppet:

    Good. Is there also any literature or something you can recommend?

    [In his book, Carney calls for upholding Canada's core democratic (!) values to maintain sovereignty and economic independence. He advocates for less reliance from other economies to uphold values, but he is not 'against free trade.' This is a misinterpretation.]

    [Edit for clarity.]
