I'm a man that's been over the border, and spent a lot of time on that US/Canadian border. I'm part of the BNA- British North America- as it was called before the American Revolution. I'm in Montreal right now, on Peel & St. Catherine and if I look 35 miles south from my window, I see the US/Canadian border. I'm very affected by the border, being a Canadian boy..... especially when I look at the US flag and the declaration of independence which states, " life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...

True freedom would mean mobility for everyone, and a hyper-intelligent business model that's more sensitive to everyone touched by that business. In this environment, you would not have cheap labour in Bangladesh. An environment of free trade would elevate standards all over the world. The standard of life in Poland for example, has improved for its joining the European Community which in turn, has provided financial opportunities in London. I'm very optimistic about what business can do for the world, and what an environment of free enterprise can do for the world. We have to protect the business environment
