i will state again what i said weeks or months ago...

trump can't unilaterally rip up nafta. he needs to go through congress. but, canada can do that.

we can give trump what he wants; we can help him bypass his congress. and, what is he going to give us in return?

how about a return to the initial fta, straight up? that would scratch out chapter 11. and, while i'm opposed to chapter 19, it's probably the best leverage that the canadian delegation has to keep it. then, we can build something with modern language on top of it.

it's unclear why canada would want to maintain a nafta agreement with mexico, but i'm sure they'd be willing to negotiate a new trade deal.
