Reciprocity

Reciprocity is the lifeguard who is ready to save the "common people" drowning in a sea of "high tariffs". Unfortunately, he is held back by "greed", "moneyed interests", and "special interests". Then there is globalization saying "shake 'em off they're only barnacles".

Of course, conservative governments in Canada always acted in the interests of business and maintained high tariffs. However, due to globalization business interests have now changed.. Conservatives now are all about free trade, and only labour groups oppose it.

Many of the cartoons that I use in class were taken from this book by Charles Hou (former Socials 10 teacher in BC):
