Shop talk

Original Toronto Star caption: Shop talk: Progressive Conservative leader Larry Grossman, left, chats yesterday with, from right, Chris Jones, Joe Veltman and Ian Mackenzie of Handling Specially Ltd., a maker of hydraulic lifts. The Niagara firm exports much of its product to the United States, and Grossman said a free trade deal is necessary to keep those exports flowing in face of U.S. protectionism.
