The introductory remarks by Trade representatives from Canada, Mexico and the U.S. can be considerably enlightening for those who review
the transparent political agendas behind the trade discussions. I have a spidey sense these first round negotiations might not even make it to Sunday.
In the video below it is interesting to watch Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, outline her priorities (also here in more detail
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/nafta-canada-demands-list-1.4246498). Ms. Freeland gives her remarks in English, Spanish and French. If you can watch Freeland without A.) Laughing hysterically, or B.) punching your TV/Computer screen, well, you’re Job.
Through Ms. Freedlan’s leadership – Canada is focused on ensuring a “progressive trade agenda”.
She is demanding a focus on LGBTQ, and specifically transgender rights in the trade deal, in addition to cultural sensitivity aspects, and climate change. Go figure.
Remarks begin at 04:50 of video with a quick housekeeping set up by Robert Lighthizer.
♦Ms. Freeland remarks begin at 06:00.
