Unlike NACUD who seems very upset by the idea of the Canadian exchange going I am really not too concerned either way, - as you have picked up I am unlikely to be effected by the merger,in fact not being effected I think makes it easier to look at this objectively, but it is very easy to get blinkered with what you think and IMHO this could actually turn round the wrong way, NACUD seems absolutely convinced of this, I am not so sure but believe people do need to think about it and that is why I am playing devils advocate. If we do stop going to Canada I hope I am wrong. I am not interested in getting further into this argument and will wait with interest to see what actually happens, whatever happens I hope for minimum job losses and wish the best for those at the lower end of the seniority lists.
