\nI recall, back in the late 80s, when the free trade agreement between the US and Canada was being arranged, a lot of Canadians didn’t want it. “No deal” bumper stickers protested the idea of free trade between Canada and the US. Some people I knew didn’t want the free trade deal with the US, because they thought Canadian manufacturers wouldn’t be able to compete with ones in the US, leading to job losses. Moreover, they seemed to see free trade with the US as a threat to Canadian sovereignty. Nonetheless, free trade began between Canada and the US January 1, 1989. Today, some Canadians seem worried about losing free trade.<\/p>\n
