They are trying to negotiate as well. That’s an opening bid. No big deal.

Oh My ,the Dingbat Trudeau put in charge of negotiations is a real Dingbat

[WKUHilltopper]

LOLOLOL!! How do we get aboot doing away with the 10th amendment, eh? LOLOLOLOL!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yeh, uh no! :-)

So Canada and Mexico are demanding that US labor wages be higher than they already are? That is a smart tactic on their part. “Sure, we’ll renegotiate NAFTA. Just make your labor wages higher and your business model more complicated so we keep a competitive advantage.”

Only an Obama supporter would agree to a deal like that.

[John 3_19-21]

"The request is part of a push by Ottawa to get the U.S. and Mexico to adopt higher labour standards under the deal"


"Higher Labour standards" = More forced political power for the leftist agenda.

Dat dare is whut dis is a boat.

End NAFTA. The Mexicans and Canadians are so much better than citizens of the USA, they should be able to do great without us.

[JudyinCanada]

Even I laughed at this. They must be opening with a joke to add some levity to the discussions. So embarrassing.

Title: “Canada demands the USA adopt socialism.”

We need to get rid of NAFTA. It was nothing but a sell-out of American jobs to Mexico and adoption of ridiculous regulations for Canada.

Canadian negotiators are demanding the United States roll back so-called "right to work" laws

Doubt it.

Far as I know, right to work is a state issue, not federal.

Hey...Canada...MYOB

[ameribbean expat]

Michigan goes right-to-work, Canada freaks.

[PGalt]

“...accused of gutting unions in some U.S. states by starving them of money...”

DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.

Canaduh ALERT!

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

How does one say “Go piss up a rope!” in Canuckistan?

[sourcery]

The US Federal government doesn’t have the Constitutional authority to do that. Not even in a treaty.

[Durus]

Constitutionally a treaty can do exactly that.

[free-in-nyc]

And they want Americans to start spelling the word as “labour,” too!

[okie 54]

How about Canada we just pull out of NAFTA all together

[Mariner]

Both Canada and Mexico need to understand it is the US that will make demands.

Access to the US market is the ONLY PRIZE in this deal. If the US cuts the access of either country, they completely collapse.

Their respective GDP will be cut in half, at least.
