[edit] nafta
the article mentioned nafta include mexico. at present, does nafta include chile as well? Jackzhp 17:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- No, NAFTA is still only the original three. Both Canada and the United States have free trade agreements with Chile somewhat modeled after NAFTA, but these are separate bilateral treaties between the countries. - SimonP 18:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Canadian election
I was expecting to see some mention of the election campaign and results that were fought in Canada over this; perhaps there's a Free Trade Election (Canada) article, as that's what that election is sometimes referred to as; stats including interesting facts that only Alberta and Quebec voted convincingly for the deal, or rather voted in enough Tories to validate the Mulroney government and its passage of the ratification. The population of Canada, en masse opposed the FTA but, because of our system of plurality, first-past-the-post, the Tories won enough to get away with it. I'd obviously write in something POV if I added something about this, so I'll leave it to a more neutral account. Maybe. But it definitely needs to be in here.Skookum1 (talk) 15:47, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
