Clinton and Obama want out of NAFTA
"I will say we will opt out of NAFTA unless we renegotiate," Clinton said in a televised debated with Obama in Ohio on Tuesday.
Obama: “I Don’t Think NAFTA Has Been Good For America - And I Never Have.” Obama: “Ten years after NAFTA passed, Senator Clinton said it was good for America. … Well, I don’t think NAFTA has been good for America - and I never have.” (David Espo, “Obama Hits Clinton On NAFTA Support,” The Associated Press, 2/24/08)
Well, that's just dandy. You guys could do us a big favour by voting either of these two guys in...... You see, Canada has stated that if they want to renegotiate NAFTA, then let's renogotiate.... starting with the the bit where Canada has to give priority of it's oil sales to the US........
OTTAWA - Trade Minister David Emerson suggested the United States has a sweet deal over access to Canada's oil under the North American Free Trade Agreement, saying the two Democratic presidential candidates calling for renegotiations may not know just how good the U.S. has it under the deal.
Emerson said Wednesday that reopening the three-country trade deal would not be a one way street and that Canada also has its list of concessions it would seek if the continental pact was renegotiated.
"There's no doubt if NAFTA were to be reopened we would want to have our list of priorities," Emerson said.
Just thought you might want to know what you're committing yourself to.
"I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy!"
