Sigh. Time to tell the Canadian negotiators to Fick Off and come back with some negotiators who understand our system of government and understand that the feds can’t arbitrarily roll back state laws. Though they might be forgiven the misapprehension, fedgov think they can do anything else.

The stupidity does not fall far from the tree. Take another bong hit, buddy, and wait for some more guests who shall soon appear at your southern border.

Note to Canadian citizens: Folks, FYI, your negotiators are embarrassing themselves and your country.

They need new negotiators. Do they really believe a trade agreement can
mandate overturning existing laws in over half of the states?

Brought to you by the same government that thinks three months is an appropriate wait time for an appendectomy.

Canada “demands.”

Some people have a special way of letting you know they want forty-five times as many islamic iloegals crossing their border as they had last year.

Don’t worry Canada. The United States will fix you up.

It sounds ridiculous on its face, but Canada is trying to do exactly what (almost) everyone here would want our own government to do — by imposing conditions in a trade deal that is aimed at reducing differences in wages between the countries.

I’m sure Mexico will back this.The auto makers can move more production there since instead of paying union workers $25+ per hour they pay the Mexican workers $4 per hour and still charge the same prices for cars sold here.

I think just ending NAFTA would be best. This kind of BS makes that easier.
