   They work for the corporations of course.   
   What if Boeing was a Canadian company based out of Toronto? They would   
   not be able to sue. That's what happened in Ontario when there was the   
   first NDP government. If the government had set up a government run   
   auto insurance company like the NDP had done in Manitoba, BC and   
   Saskatchewan, under NAFTA they would have had to pay American insurance   
   companies for their lost business, not Canadian companies.   
   How does that help Canadians?   
   It just shows whose interests Canadian governments serve.
