Should Canada continue to participate in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)?
The North American Free Trade Agreement is an agreement that was created to lower trade restrictions between Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
Yes, as long as citizens of both countries are allowed to travel and work without question. If people are disallowed from freely travelling to and working in the other country then tariffs should be imposed on imported goods from the country that prevents unfettered travel and work. As long as the traveler has no criminal record and would be free to enter the other country as a tourist, they should be able to work there.

Trade regulation should probably be decreased, however this allows for massive exploitation so I can't fully endorse it. NAFTA should be a more beneficial policy, however issues with Mexico's enforcement and political structures are preventing the flow of income to Mexico from being effectively implemented in infrastructure and education for Mexican citizens which is maintaining a labour cost imbalance that encourages shipping more jobs to Mexico.
@9HVHVNQ4mos4MO
Yes, but all updated trade agreements should permit carbon taxes to be applied to imported goods and services.
@9HDNW7DNew Democratic5mos5MO
NAFTA or any trade agreement needs to be reviewed every 2-5 years because situations change. The balance is never truly in place. Amandements need to be enacted to protect the people in all apprticipating countries.
@9GYSNHD5mos5MO
Yes, but renegotiate terms to strike a better balance accessing goods not available in the current domestic market while protecting domestic manufacturing.
@9GPTJ2D6mos6MO
Yes, but renegotiate terms to strike a better balance between accessing goods not available in the current domestic market while protecting domestic manufacturing.
@93WL6VF2yrs2Y
Yes, but protect Canadian industries.
@93CCWGR2yrs2Y
@92YKHH62yrs2Y
No, let the government block illegal or unwanted products
@9F3BQD87mos7MO
I need to know more about it
@9DTTBXP8mos8MO
Not enough knowledge to answer this question. But I do think there’s a possibility it needs to be reformed
@9BSYMVY12mos12MO
No, abolish NAFTA. It has been unfair to Canada
@99BZWYD1yr1Y
Yes, but renegotiate for balance.
@996HZ641yr1Y
is this really an option?
@98ZSNKV1yr1Y
@98WZ87R1yr1Y
Yes but only if Canada could have more of a say on their manufacturing and blue collar jobs
@98TLB6M1yr1Y
Yes, but it should be both free & fair.
@98PQTLX1yr1Y
No, trade between countries causes an imbalanced budget and give jobs to other countries
@98F2D7F1yr1Y
Yes, but carbon tax imports. No, if that is excluded
@97WDKK81yr1Y
No, end the practise of free trade
@97BRZXP1yr1Y
yes, but perhaps renegotiate to match the modern needs of the country
@97529D21yr1Y
Only if it benefits the economy
@96QP3KD1yr1Y
no the us and canada use this to rape plant genetic resorces of other countries. This is unethical
@96JJRBT2yrs2Y
No, these resources should be prioritized on Canadians first, then sell the surplus.
@942M3262yrs2Y
No, ban free trade and have fair trade and also get out of the World Trade Organization.
@93TM7X62yrs2Y
@937ZKJ52yrs2Y
Yes, but we should make sure we get the top of the line products that are needed here first.
@937LMWD2yrs2Y
no, NAFTA, as well as other free trade agreements, has outsourced business and investment in Canadian upgrading facilities, being cheaper to upgrade raw materials outside Canada and ship it back into canada.
@92MWQCF2yrs2Y
No, it makes copyright law too restrictive, not allowing things to be public domain and fair use
@8ZSKBGM2yrs2Y
Yes, but renegotiated upon the basis of labour's cost and envirmental cost for what's freely traded.
@8YWJRJH2yrs2Y
Yes, but review and renegotiate it as needed.
@8VN6GJB3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if Canada can remain the Dominant country in the trade agreement
@8VB3XXY3yrs3Y
No, it takes away from our own economy when we go to other countries for products
@8V95QN23yrs3Y
Regardless, do not pursue any free trade deals, institute high tariff laws and increase regulations on trade.
@8KLHHQY3yrs3Y
No, we should terminate all free trade deals and leave the World Trade Organization. We should also tariff and boycott all foreign goods.
@8K9DVQX3yrs3Y
This has been replaced by US Mexico Canada Agreement.
Yes, too deep to go back
@8FY4NKT4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should reform it to increase protections and regulations for workers.
Yes but it should be renegotiated to benefit the people of each country and not corporate entities
@8DC73B24yrs4Y
No, this is pure globalism, we should not do trade deals.
@8VBJN4Z3yrs3Y
No, we should buy & sell within our own country.
@8D4X4PW4yrs4Y
No, this is globalist, and puts our sovereignty at risk
@9D5HV3N9mos9MO
We are the 2nd largest country in the world, and we have everything we need to be almost totally self-sufficient. The only outside products we should be importing are fruits that can't be grown in Canada's climate.
@9C393LQ11mos11MO
yes, as long as it benefits the country.
