The article seems to assume that the Trump US administration will unilaterally pull out of NAFTA and then try to negotiate an entirely new deal that grossly favours USA interests. How realistic is that? Any new deal or modification of the existing treaty with have to be the result of a give and take process. Canada will only be bullied into accepting unfair terms if she allows herself to be so. The history of Canada/USA trade negotiations has been characterized by hard nosed bargaining and there's no reason to think things will be any different the next time around. Trump is not superman, he's an ordinary human being with an oversized ego. If that's what it takes to get a favourable deal, we have lots of his kind in Canada. If Mulroney could do it, surely Trudeau can do at least as well, and if you are a Liberal, you likely think probably better.
