Time for a reality check.
Human rights issues, interests of minorities and Canadian values have long been part of trade agreements that Canada has negotiated.
Here is the previous administration highlighting just that around their trade agreement discussions with China. http://nationalpost.com/news/politics/harper-signs-2-5b-deals-with-china-and-raises-human-rights-issues-signalling-new-era-of-cooperation http://https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/harper-signs-2-5b-deals-with-china-and-raises-human-rights-issues-signalling-new-era-of-cooperation
Furthermore most of you imply that Canada went into the NAFTA negotiations with these human rights issues instead of trade issues - did it not occur to you that they were simply added onto the trade requests Canada was making?
Truth is NAFTA was working just fine, the Americans were not disadvantaged under it as they've always had the biggest hand at this negotiating table because of their economic size. Trump comes along and starts yapping how everybody has treated the US unfairly. Most of the posters on here have so much hate on Trudeau and his Government that they side with a foreign country that is trying to do down Canada which will ultimately hurt our country and Canadian citizens. Time for some of you to reflect on whether you want to see Canada do well or poorly. Siding with Trump will hurt Canada and it won't get rid of Trudeau. You all get the chance to vote him out at the next election.
