    So I repeat once again: what the hell ever happened to NAFTA?

    I thought (obviously erroneously) that NAFTA was supposed to make these tariffs and duties obsolete.

    I guess I have to read up on this...I. for one, see no reason why commerce on this level should be subject to bogus government surcharges.

    Only one US congressman acknowledged reading NAFTA

    Only one section, half a page, deals with tariffs. I can't remember how many pages but it's about 5" thick.

    Every Canadian negotiator, except the PM at the time, has said that it hasn't worked out and should be revisited.

    It is written solely to protect investors without regard for any local consideration in any of the three countries.

    And any more comments from me will probably get this locked down because I think it is probably the worst thing that all three countries could have done short of going to war against each other. It's that bad. I'll shut up now.
