Wil's Rant

Can you say pull out of NAFTA? At this point it is clear that the U.S. administration has no intention of living up to the agreements it has made. I'm referring to NAFTA. Despite repeated rulings in Canada's favor, the U.S. has made it clear that they will only comply with these rulings when they go in the American's favor. Failing that, they are saying that they will not comply. So what's the point? International trade agreements are only as good as the word of those signing. When it becomes obvious that one of the signees will absolutely not honor the agreement than the agreement holds no merit and Canada should withdraw. It's called bargaining in good faith. I find it hard to understand why Canada continues to negotiate with such an administration. Canadians are becoming more and more vocal in their scorn for the process. It's time to give notice of our intention to withdraw in hopes of finding more ethical trading partners. The take it or leave it attitude of George et. al. is becoming lame to say the least. Past allies are speaking out and are warning against continued solo actions such as Iraq and the looming actions in Iran. It's called diplomacy George, you might want to give it a try before you have no friends left at all. Shouldn't be long now!
