First, it's not as if NAFTA is something sacred in Canada. Canadian capital was happy with NAFTA, but Canadians were not. And why should it have been? It allows for morefreedom of capital & commodities, but not for labour. As such, it has all the disadvantages of the EU with much fewer of the advantages. Yes, the Tories & Liberal representatives of Canadian business interests would be annoyed, but there are quite a few Canadians who would welcome re-negotiation. Look what passing NAFTA did for Brian Mulroney.
It's also interesting that you're using the "oh, but it will annoy the Canadians & the Peru & Colombia" argument. I thought RealAmericans did not care how people in other countries feel. "Country First", right?
