What should Canada give up in new NAFTA

Not at all , Iam encouraging you to cash in on your energy and intelligence.
Sure. But if Canada raises protectionist measures against other countries, that increases the risk of them retaliating. Even if they don't retaliate, what if I discover that Canada is imposing high tariffs on the very products that I would need to import to develop my own product? How would that help me to compete on world markets? Like I said, even if the other countries didn't retaliate, I'd still be paying more for the materials and machinery that I would need to produce my products, an overhead cost that similar businesses abroad might not need to pay. Would that not put me at a disadvantage?

Oh OK cheap material from foreign countries have nothing to do with it, OK gotcha
They have everything to do with it. Would you rather buy Canadian oranges grown in a greenhouse in winter or oranges at half the price imported from the USA? If you force a business to buy expensive steel for its production when it could otherwise have bought less expensive steel from abroad, then are you not raising its overhead costs which it will then need to pass on to the consumer? How is it supposed to compete in world markets in that case? Sure it might have the tariff advantage domestically, but it will lose any past competitive advantage in any export market. suddenly, you've just reduced US manufacturing to the domestic market on a low economy of scale. And the US consumer will pay for it.
So by deregulating some of the policies to reduce cost, to get the prices in line with foreign markets, and protect them to get back into the game while the majority of taxpayers support the decision is bad? If the tariffs remain for an over extended time frame then I, and as well venture to guess the majority of taxpayers, would agree with you.
The problem is that once a tariff is introduced, special interests soon coalesce around it to make it politically difficult to remove them afterwards. Just look at Canadian Content rules, protection for Canadian telecommunication companies, supply management and dairy tariffs, etc. Once in place, they're politically difficult to remove afterwards even if they harm the consumer and the economy.
The longer the tariffs remain, the tougher it will be for US politicians to remove them afterwards.

There is reason to believe that the revised NAFTA IS DEAD on arrival!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOBODY is satisfied with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not Cdns- for good reasons related to LIE-berals selling out our dairy and lumber producers and our steel and and aluminum producers as well- just so Our idiot Boy could refuse to be serious about national security!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yankees are certainly not happy with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many states have Canada as their main trading partner and tariffs on Cdn stuff will hurt them too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many other Yankees- of the Tea Party type- want to turn back the clock to 1930`s style Yankee isolation and neutrality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Tea Party types would be quite happy to close the borders ENTIRELY and only allow in a select few Cdns of the sort Harper referred to as "old stock' -meaning sensible, honest and logical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cooler heads on both sides of the border recognize that Our idiot Boy Justin- who some Yankees refer to as a "punk kid"- is on his way out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once that idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals hit the unemployment line- then a new Cdn govt with an honest concern about national security will take over and arrange a FAIR DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The year 2019 will usher in momentous changes........one way or another!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha Offered the Canadian dairy for a better deal
Opening dairy market to U.S. was biggest concession in trade talks, Freeland says

POOR STUPID LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For over one hundred years- a succession of Cdn LIE-beral govts has offered up huge cash grants to any company that will set up shop here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As example- we have only to look at spring 2018 when - in the dying days of the Wynne-bag Ontari-owe LIE-beral govt- Hond C. in Alliston Ont was offered over $100 million dollars in provincial grants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes- our LIE-beral govt that wants to make Canada fossil fuel FREE is so muddled they are subsidizing auto companies!!!!!!!!!!!
But LIE-berals IGNORE the reality that a branch plant economy is ONLY ALLOWED to trade in those places permitted by head office- which is located in some foreign land!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL LIE-beral policy is FAILING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And their economic policy is an especially BIG MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is the only option available. When a war comes along the nations goes deeper into debt. I\f that is the whole idea we could have an internal economic boom that would be equal to fight a big war. Why would the bankers hate that, they get their pound of flesh and no mass graves are needed.
Stick the orphans and the retired people together and let them fight it out. What comes out is a politician.
You like that, do you?
.... your country forced to give up concessions?
You love your country that much, eh?
Do our farmers stay with our old system (not)or do they also have access to US goodies for cows?
Not at all, she said that she offered more access to Canada for dairy to get a better deal, she is trying to spin it as a win.
========================================================================================================
And POOR PITIFUL HOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clinging so desperately to his shattered LIE-beral illusions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cdn farmers LOST some market share under the new NAFTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND ALL the Yankee tariffs remain in place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE ONLY THING Our idiot Boy has "won" is the right to go on wrecking Cdn national security and our financial future!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just as international bankers watched our 2018 Ontari-owe election with great interest- so to will they be watching our 2019 federal election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And just as bankers were prepared to hit Ontari-owe with new fees and penalties if we re-elected Wynne-bag LIE-berals- so to will bankers hit Canada with new fees and penalties if we are stupid enough to re-elect Our idiot Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But there IS HOPE FOR CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been saying all along that our fate is in the hands of the silent majority that normally does not bother voting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But in the Yankee mid terms- there was a RECORD VOTER TURN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who wants to bet that Cdn voters are just as pissed as their Yankee neighbours and there will be a record Cdn turn out in 2019!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST Our idiot Boy can hope for in 2019 is to end up leading a short lived minority govt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And then Our idiot Boy WILL BE GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
