The American economy is over 10 times greater than the Canadian economy. 80% of Canada's exports rely upon the American market. The US economy is booming. The Canadian economy is declining fast and heading into the toilet. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau should have taken a small loss on NAFTA negotiations and completed them last year. Perhaps under such a completed agreement, Canada would have been exempted from Trump's steel/aluminum protectionist policies.
Instead, Trudeau jerked around with inserting pro gender equality and pro aboriginal conditions which should have not been part of this critical NAFTA renegotiations. Canada wasted valuable time and lost its credibility with Trump and the US NAFTA negotiators. Canada lost its chance with Trump.
