i've been opposed to nafta my whole life.

as a teenager, i marched with the unions against it.

it's at the core of my self-awareness, politically. it's one of the things that radicalized me.

the opposition to nafta was lead by the left, by the ndp (although i identified more with the liberal position, which supported actual reciprocity with the united states, but opposed the investors rights agreement that the fta was and any trilateral agreement with mexico) and by the unions and by the socialists. most of what we feared has come to fruition. so, it's disingenuous to suggest this is some kind of right-wing movement devised by donald trump.

i acknowledge there's not any easy way out. but, i've made my views here clear enough.
