Not sure I understand what any of what the author says has to do with NAFTA renegotiation. She seems ignorant about fundamentals. If marketing boards for dairy products are a concern then the governments of Canada can easily change that, NAFTA or no NAFTA. But remember, while we subsidize our farmers through price management, the U.S. helps farmers through direct subsidies, which annually cost taxpayers about US$20 billion.  So one way or another, the taxpayer pays. As for energy, the US already has a sweetheart deal that basically guarantees that country as much oil and gas as they can buy even if it is detrimental to Canadian interests. Now the author wants to open the energy valve even wider. Given that the valves are already fully open, what's to negotiate? As for lumber, well, given that most of Canada's industry is owned by US companies, we should be increasing stumpage costs. Bigger royalties for Canada.
