    If you change NAFTA you are going to get screwed in the energy area. Canada is the USA's largest supplier of energy and you got an awesome deal in NAFTA. Our PM has said that you shouldn't think that would happen again.

    we have always had good relations with our cousins to the north and see no reason why that wouldn't continue

    Its the southern neighbors that have caused the problem, it also isn't about free trade but FAIR that caused the problems.

    then there is the issue of energy costs, a lot of the growing nations are subsidizing energy costs Mexico and China come to mind .

    other nations also put roadblocks to American goods from competing in their markets.

    tariffs, quotas ect put our businesses at an unfair disavantage and the way Nafta and most of our other trade agreements do not allow American businesses to compete fairly.

    the list goes on and on but in most cases with a few exceptions the big on being Canada, America has bee sold a bill of goods that is now quickly destroying our way of life, our forefathers i am sure are rolling in their graves over the way our government has ruined this country. this isn't what the fought and died for

    Yes we need to..... No we would not get "screwed" in energy... It would cost Canada much more to export it to another country other then US.. The name of the game is profit and exporting it across the ocean simply cost more to do and that means less profit... It not Canada we need to consider in NAFTA change.. Its Mexico..
