  Can we trust that the Trudeau government is up to fairly representing Canada's interests where trade is concerned, and particularly where China is concerned? Trudeau has expressed his admiration for China's "basic dictatorship" and otherwise seems in thrall of big money, which the Chinese apparently have in great supply. I'm afraid the negotiations would be one-sided and that we'd get the short end of the stick.
