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.
