The Canadian leadership is interested in more diverse and resilient supply chains via Mexico, while the Mexican government wants to increase bilateral trade through direct access to Canadian ports, making the country less dependent on existing US maritime channels.

LOL. Love this.

    Excellent! Let’s also import more Mexican groceries! Fresh fruit and veg and pantry staples (spices, canned stuff, etc).

    Careful: a lot of "Product of Mexico" fruit and veggies are actually still American companies that control much of the supply chain and possibly even the farmland.

    If this kind of stuff keeps up, Mexico can tell Monsanto/Bayer to get lost.

    It's all fun until the U.S. navy starts an unofficial blockade of Cargo ships bypassing American ports...maybe forcing them to dock for 'inspections'

    Let's see how long it takes orange fuck-face to start claiming Mexican ships coming to Canada are "cartel boats"...

    Canada was Mexico’s fifth largest trade partner and Mexico was Canada’s third largest as of the end of last year.

    Wow, so Canada needs mexico more than Mexico needs Canada. That's counter intuitive

    That doesn't make any sense. Trade doesn't have to be perfectly equal. You want good agreements and free trade without bloated orange meat bags hijacking and stopping trade.

    As long as these agreements don't include the US, that's a good step in the right direction.

    What's the skinny on how this helps poverty of Mexican workers? NAFTA benefited corporations and harmed workers
