Yes, it is, Mr. Harper, but your grandiose words about world trade do not fit well here.
Columbia is a completely unimportant place for our trade, a small country with a very limited range of products of interest to us and an economy poor enough to provide nothing much of a market.
Moreover, since it is a narco-state, it has people running large parts of its economy who are no different in character to the Taleban you have us fighting in Afghanistan.
There is only one genuine reason for your doing this goofy stunt.
Again, you are simply doing whatever Bush wants.
Trade treaties with places like Columbia are Bush policy in the hopeless war on drugs.
