In sane world, there would be no “NAFTA 2”.
>>This is also happening in Europe, where bureaucrats are trying to expropriate funds from American technology leaders, including Google, through bogus charges of monopoly activities.... Intellectual property is increasingly the lifeblood of our economy.
Google-youtube doesn’t behave as a monopoly?
Youtube doesn’t host the piracy of intellectual property?
Selective outrage
>>NAFTA should impose civil and criminal penalties for illicit access to cable and satellite signals and other preventable infringements in which American firms are not compensated for use of the product.
Anyone stealing cable deserves the steady diet of left-wing globalist propaganda they receive
We need some wisdom here. Do companies stay in Puerto Rico?
Not sure why you’d say that. NAFTA was the greatest trade deal this country has ever signed even if you only consider the impact it had on U.S. access to oil and gas from Canada and Mexico.
Build every inch of the wall until it is complete.. Then make a deal.. or better yet no more illegals.
Whatever you do don't change your name. It fits you perfect
IP is one of the driving forces behind globalization.
American companies such as Google, Microsoft, Apple born and incorporated in the U.S bothers certain european allies.
Remove the IP rights of any and all search engine advertising, social media or online news services.
Challenge my points and knock off the insults.
I can think of no better group to strip of money and power than these people.
Deals are made to make trade free and fair. Now, I personally HATE THE WORD “FAIR”. Libs have destroyed that word to mean what they want to mean. But allowing Canada to act with impunity to essentially increase the cost of new drugs to US citizens is not “fair”.
The writer is quite naïve in his belief that our “partners” are ever going to stop doing this stuff.
This thing does sort of read like a Chamber of Commerce wet dream.
What do cable TV and satelite TV have to do with Nafta? Of course anyone that steals Cable TV service and Satelite signals should be punishes and are punished. Why do you think cable company trucks are driving around in the neighbor hoods? Of course the commie search engine google (spelled on purpose in lower case) and YouTube have a monopoly, but I still don’t see what thay have to do with Nafta? There are search engines you can choose that do not track you. DuckDuckGo is one of them. I suggest you try it.
“That’s good news, because the trade deal has been a stunning economic success for Canada, Mexico and the United States.”
They fail to mention the biggest winner.
China
Excellent point.
I don't think they are on our side anymore, and I now doubt that they ever were.
My recollection is that Canada called a meeting with all the pharmaceutical manufactures and told them that if they didn't sell their product in Canada at what the Canadian government thought was a reasonable price, Canada was going to revoke all of their patents and allow Canadian companies to manufacture their products.
Basically extortion, but with sufficient real threat behind it that the companies really had no choice. They either complied, or they would be destroyed by Canadian companies making their products without having to pay for their research and development costs.
