We may be making progress.

I think it has been established that NAFTA is “managed trade.”
We’ve also established that “free trade” differs from “managed trade.”
Accordingly, NAFTA is not “free trade.”

Does that make NAFTA a protectionist agreement? ;-)

We’ve also established that “free trade” differs from “managed trade.”

I think that there was also an assertion made that it was incorrect to assume that "free trade" wasn't "managed trade." There's a lot of smoke in the air.

C'mon, girl. You've proved that "free trade" is "managed trade." What do you think you've accomplished?

More importantly do you think that, because you've "proved" (didn't see anyone arguing that point, really) the above, we should "manage" trade even more, as you suggest?
