This website outlines the disadvantages of the NAFTA agreement and some of the negative outcomes that have occurred since the agreement was signed in 1994. Although the NAFTA agreement has generated lots of growth in the economy for Canada, it has caused loss of jobs for Canadians and has made Canada's economy reliant on the United States economic activity. Many Canadians feel that if NAFTA was dissolved or even revamped, it would lead to more independent and successful economic growth for Canada. ]]> 2017-04-13 02:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewdube11/hj1bad1r6kkz/wish/166191521 andrewdube11 https://padlet.com/andrewdube11/hj1bad1r6kkz/wish/166192024 http://www.agr.gc.ca/eng/industry-markets-and-trade/agri-food-trade-policy/trade-agreements-in-force/north-american-free-trade-agreement-nafta/nafta-benefits-the-canadian-agricultural-industry/?id=1383942670302
The goal of the NAFTA agreement was to increase trading within North America. This has lead to a substantial increase in the Canadian agriculture industry. The United States is Canada's leading export market, purchasing about 60% of Canada's agriculture export. NAFTA has allowed there to be greater and more secure access to trading from Canada to the United States which has in turn generated economic growth within Canada. More jobs in the agricultural industry have been created and this helps to promote Canadian farmers. ]]> 2017-04-13 03:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewdube11/hj1bad1r6kkz/wish/166192024 andrewdube11 https://padlet.com/andrewdube11/hj1bad1r6kkz/wish/166192982 http://international.gc.ca/trade-commerce/trade-agreements-accords-commerciaux/agr-acc/nafta-alena/fta-ale/background-contexte.aspx?lang=eng
The North American Free Trade Agreement is the largest free trade deal that increased the standard of living of people in all 3 countries, Canada, Mexico and The United States. NAFTA has permitted these three countries to not only produce within themselves, but for companies to produce in unison. The agreement has also lead to large interest from foreign investors that provide each country with more opportunity to generate more economic growth. Without the security from NAFTA, the crucial investments that are essential to market growth would not happen. ]]> 2017-04-13 03:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewdube11/hj1bad1r6kkz/wish/166192982 andrewdube11 https://padlet.com/andrewdube11/hj1bad1r6kkz/wish/166193921 http://globalnews.ca/news/3251394/nafta-changes-canada-us-trade/
The video within this article is a short part of the talk between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding potential changes to the NAFTA agreement. It has not yet been stated what the changes may be, but Donald Trump has been set on tweaking the agreement since before his induction into presidency. Canadians are hopeful that Trudeau will be diligent and make decisions that are best for the Canadian economy. ]]> 2017-04-13 03:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewdube11/hj1bad1r6kkz/wish/166193921 andrewdube11 https://padlet.com/andrewdube11/hj1bad1r6kkz/wish/166194218 http://www.cnn.com/videos/cnnmoney/2016/08/02/nafta-explained-cnnmoney.cnn
Although this video is from an American website all of the information and facts on the US about NAFTA can be related to Canada. NAFTA was signed in 1994 by Brian Mulroney, George Bush, and Carlos Salinos. The idea behind NAFTA was that it would lead to the production of cheaper goods which would then lead to greater economic growth. NAFTA also lowered tariffs on goods and made it easier to trade among the 3 countries. ]]> 2017-04-13 03:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewdube11/hj1bad1r6kkz/wish/166194218 andrewdube11 https://padlet.com/andrewdube11/hj1bad1r6kkz/wish/166194655 http://globalnews.ca/news/3193060/canadian-automakers-concerned-about-donald-trump-innovation-minister/
The automobile industry has been positively affected by the North American Free Trade Agreement. It has allowed the industry to manufacture products for a fraction of the previous cost and has incorporated all 3 countries into automobile manufacturing. President Donald Trump has ideas of changing the NAFTA agreement and the automobile industry worries that this could have adverse effects on production. Without the agreement, trading would become more difficult and more expensive. ]]> 2017-04-13 03:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewdube11/hj1bad1r6kkz/wish/166194655
