North American Relations
Inspired by other region-specific discussion, let's talk about all aspects of relations between Canada, Mexico and the United States here! I was originally going to call it "Canada - USA Relations", but let's not leave out Mexico.
Let's kick it off with NAFTA, but we can talk about other North American issues here too. This was originally from discussion between JD and I in the EU thread. We were talking about NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). It was pointed out that both Canada and the US place tarriffs on different goods. Now, I admit I don't know a lot about the specifics of the Free Trade agreement, but I'm sure adding tarriffs goes against it. Incidentally, isn't Mexico in this agreement too? What do you (all Mooters) feel about NAFTA? What are the benefits and drawbacks to you? Let's try not to get this topic closed eh? EDIT: I changed the title because half this thread is also about Central America, and South America should be included too. EDIT2: Thanks SGH!

My argument anyway - is that Cuba does not - nor the other countries have the same ecomony as the US, Canada and mexico - it does not serve to have those countries part of NAFTA because of what NAFTA's purpose is. Just like so many Europeans feel that Turkey does not match up to the requirements for EU membership - even though Turkey IS a European country as much as Russia is.
