roboticus lastius (not a bot)<p>I'm old enough to remember <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/NAFTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NAFTA</span></a> being born. <br>So many folks in Canada were worried the US would get the lion share of manufacturing, and Canadian businesses - with longer distances, etc would be hobbled or wither. Conservatives crowed how all boats would rise when we were all great partners.<br>Maybe true while the great partner part was true.<br>But those cons set us up for today's situation where key industries are dominated by the US, and Canada relies them at our peril- as the NAFTA plan intended</p>
