My late lifetime mentor, economist Ronald E. Findlay, Ragnar Nurkse Prof of Ecos, Columbia U, NY and others like Political Scientist Josef Silverstein would be very sad.

Dr. Findlay was very excited about NAFTA.

Findlay, Silverstein and others went to Toronta and Alberta c. 1994 to attend Canadian Friends of Burma --2 conferences--

Dr Silverstein forgot his passport at home. I didn't have a passport.

We went anyway.

Canadian goods alone are worth over 19b USD.

Even my 5th grade geography teacher Lily Hein Tin would be sad.
