Canadians, Americans Feel Losers In NAFTA

Posted on Tuesday, October 10 at 08:30 by jensonj
In 1993, NAFTA brought Mexico into the Free Trade Agreement between Canada and the U.S. that had been in place since 1989. The two countries share the longest undefended border in the world, over which some $400 billion U.S. in bilateral trade pass annually. More than 500,000 people cross the boundary every day. Last month, Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper discussed bilateral trade relations during a visit to New York, declaring, "We are increasing our cooperation in areas ranging from electronic cargo monitoring to pipeline standards to the recent renewal of our historic North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) treaty. But our partnership on all of these issues depends vitally on our maintaining a secure and efficient border. Our border must not be seen as a fence where one country’s national security stops and the other’s begins. It’s not like that in the real world." http://www.angus-reid.com/polls/index.cfm/fuseaction/viewItem/itemID/13417
