Former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney–a close ideological ally of Margaret Thatcher and former U.S. President Ronald Reagan–said he drew inspiration from Mrs. Thatcher’s free-market policies to champion Canada’s key, but controversial, free-trade deal with the U.S., as well as tax reform that helped solidify Canada’s economic fundamentals long after he left office in 1993.

Myron Baloney was not adverse to taking free things.. trade or otherwise.

I have no problem whatsoever with free trade between the US and Canada.I think such an arrangement almost certainly would benefit both countries.OTOH...free trade with Mexico? NO WAY JOSE! I want the border between the US and Mexico....the physical border that is...sealed tighter than a drum.Of course people should be able to travel *from* the US *to* Mexico,assuming Mexico would allow it,but not in the other direction.No people...no goods...coming *to* the US *from* Mexico.
Harsh? You betcha.Good for the US? You betcha.Good for Mexico? Who cares!
Sorry for the short rant....
