that said, i will again point out that i do not expect donald trump to ask the senate to repeal nafta. 

in the context of the us-canada relationship, nafta did not offer very many tangible differences on tariffs or trade. what it did was give foreign nationals power to circumvent our legal system, because mexico's judiciary is corrupt. and, the fact that we agreed to this is insane.

i know that this isn't why trump wants to tear it up (but, remember: this is a congressional responsibility, and the congress has bipartisan support for nafta). but it's something we should take advantage of.

i might even suggest that canada should offer to make a deal with the administration to unilaterally pull out, in exchange for concessions. trump could avoid congress, that way. it might be the only way it can get done.
