apologies to mr manley

I've been informed that John Manley is not a nut-job:

Actually, John Manley was a highly-respected Liberal MP and cabinet minister from 1988 to 2003. He was even our deputy prime minister for two years. He took a run at the leadership of the Liberal party in 2003, but dropped out of the race when it was clear Paul Martin would win. He retired from politics at that time.

Once Rob put the name in context for me, I remembered (albeit vaguely) who he is. This super-NAFTA thing still seems a little squirrelly, but the anonymous person who posted about it seems more so.
