One group of negotiators spent all day Sunday working on the labour file, according to a schedule of the talks obtained by The Globe and Mail. One source familiar with the discussions said Canada wants the United States to pass a federal law stopping state governments from enacting right-to-work legislation; the source said the United States has not agreed to such a request.
Canada believes that lower labour standards in the United States and Mexico, including right to work, give those countries an unfair advantage in attracting jobs.

Every guy should beat his wife like Muslims do, because non-Muslims are producing a drain on the number of Muslim women. Or something.

Well that’s NOT going to work and the Canadians should be VERY careful in what they “demand” of the USA and President Trump!

Yeah, right. We’ll do that. We’ll just pass a feral law ending right to work. LMAO.
Talk to the hand.

Not exactly commies, but enough to the left to make you think so. The mere upward migration of illegals to Canada has made the feckless PM Trudeau think twice. Their political system rewards stupidity—until it bites them in the butt—as it is now doing. The more they come into Quebec, the more they will howl.

Don’t worry Canada.
Ending DACA will cause a large number of educated and hard working Mexicans to migrate from the US to Canada to avoid being sent to Mexico.
These people will surely bring great prosperity to your beautiful country :-)

Not Canadian flavor. Because their leader is a fagarino.

Hey Canada, how about you adopt right to work?

Canada seems to believe themselves to be in the stronger position, here. I suspect they’re mistaken in that.
To: TBP
...FTA: "Canada believes that lower labour standards in the United States and Mexico, including right to work, give those countries an unfair advantage in attracting jobs."
At least they got that right.

So join us in adopting right to work and the advantage disappears.

Right to work is not lower labor standards. It’s better working standards. The boy wonder Prime Minister needs to get off the crack.

Canada, shut your twisted mouth.
