Then that's NOT "poutine fries", but something YOU madeup. :-)

Fries with brown gravy is an American dish and it used to be called "wet fries" in New England. Now THAT is yummy and I first had it when I was in college in N.H.! Adding cold, sticky curds to it all just ruins the whole thing, AFAIC.

US, Canada reach NAFTA deal: reports

The U.S. and Canada have reportedly reached a deal on an updated North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) after negotiators in Washington and Ottawa worked furiously into the night to meet a self-imposed midnight Sunday deadline.

Multiple outlets have reported that Canada late Sunday had agreed to join the three-nation agreement, which also includes Mexico. The White House is expected to make a formal announcement later Sunday, after which it will send the text of the agreement to Congress before the deadline expires.

After a week of intense work, the U.S. and Canada reportedly managed to grind out a deal on the toughest issues, including access to the Canadian dairy market.

President Trump has reportedly accepted the new deal while Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was holding a 10 p.m. Cabinet meeting to discuss the agreement.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said he will present the text of the deal Sunday night to the Mexican Senate. The three nations put a last-minute rush on the deal to ensure that Pena Nieto could sign the agreement before he leaves office on Dec. 1.

Congressional lawmakers and U.S. business groups had urged the Trump administration to work with Canada to preserve the three-nation framework of the pact, which was completed under President George H.W. Bush and ratified under President Clinton.

Trump threatened last week to push Canada out of the deal and had seemingly given up on the weekend deadline while threatening Ottawa with auto tariffs if a deal couldn't be reached.

I had to do research to do that meme after I got the idea. Ave temp in Cape Columbia, the furthest North spot in Canada, is about -3.5F

So you agree, it would be better with cheese than curds.

I’m glad we were able to come to an amicable agreement. Carry on!

I’m originally from Vancouver by Sask.

There is a reason why MANY canadians drive thru the Peace Arch just to buy GAS, EGGS AND MILK in WA STATE, I’ve been doing this since the late 90’s when I got my drivers license.

Heck, how many times did I buy beer and hid it in my luggage and didnt even claim it because they will make me pay DUTIES on the damn thing...

LOL...nooooooooooooooooo, we really don't agree. LEAVE THE DAMNED CHEESE OFF ! :-)

But French fries with a rich, wine infused, thick beef gravy ( hell...even add onions and/or shallots or mushroom to the gravy ! ) is the way to go. That used to be a New England ( maybe just in New Hampshire? I don't know for certain ) staple and it's delicious! :-)

I think there is a side agreement limiting the number of Canadian car exports to the USA.

Need more info. But maybe the side agreement was in return for being exempted for any car tariffs that the USA may impose on “national security grounds”.

More details to come...
