If that were the case Canada’s Trade minister wouldn’t be spending the weekend huddled with her staff in Washington with orders to show up outside Robert Lighthizer‘s office promptly at 8:00am Monday morning. I realize that you said that you personally were well situated for an economy without Canadian exports to the US, and I sincerely hope that it doesn’t come to that.
I sincerely hope they don't do a trade deal and shit hits the fan in the US as the impact takes hold. Seems to be the only way things get done in your country. Much of what Americans post here on trade, immigration, health care, and crime is highly irrational.
Disagree. America recovered* in spite of Odumbo's efforts to hold us down. Our "recovery" was due to Fed easy money. *perhaps it has only looked like a recovery. We haven't yet seen the downside of settling all of this massive debt.

If we don’t make a fair deal for the U.S. after decades of abuse, Canada will be out,” Trump said on Twitter “Congress should not interfere w/ these negotiations or I will simply terminate NAFTA entirely & we will be far better off,” he added. Trump on Friday notified Congress of his intent to sign a bilateral deal with Mexico, after contentious talks with Canada ended on Friday without a deal to revamp NAFTA. Trump had unveiled a deal with Mexico on Monday. Lawmakers on Friday warned that a deal with Mexico could struggle to win approval from Congress unless Canada was also included. Support from Democrats would be needed to pass a purely bilateral deal, they said.
