Abstract
The following paper argues that NAFTA has had a significant impact upon Canada. It further argues that Canada's free trade arrangement with the United States will pull it into the U.S. orbit in ways that will eventually make Canadian independence of any kind impossible. The possibility of a North American Monetary Union and the foundation for structures like a joint customs union are credible now in a way they arguably were not prior to the ratification of NAFTA. The paper claims that Canada allows itself to be bound more and more tightly to the American economy through vehicles such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and political and socio-cultural integration.
From the Paper
"Others go further to argue that Canada's free trade arrangement with the United States will pull it into the U.S. orbit in ways that will eventually make Canadian independence of any kind impossible. For example, the possibility of a North American Monetary Union and the foundation for structures like a joint customs union are credible now in a way they arguably were not prior to the ratification of the NAFTA. As well, one should not forget that the events of 9/11 have made some kind of "deeper" North American integration seem desirable to many (Gilbert, 202-203). In the end, as Canada allows itself to be bound more and more tightly to the American economy through vehicles such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, political and socio-cultural integration (already well-advanced in the latter case) will become more pronounced, as well.

Abstract
This paper will provide evidence that clearly supports the notion that NAFTA is unhealthy for Canada, economically, politically, and culturally. Parenthetically, it might also be added that it is bad for Mexico and the US as well. In sum, as it stands at present, there is little if anything meritorious about the formal relationship that economically binds the North American continent together. On an informal level, the consequences may even be worse.

Abstract
The paper discusses the drawbacks of the NAFTA agreement but reveals that the success of Canada's economic life depends on serious, pragmatic cooperation with the United States. The paper looks at the argument that Canada's political relationship with the U.S. should remain friendly, but its economic focus should shift to other regions such as China or India. The paper explains why an economic relationship with the United States is a necessity for Canada.
From the Paper
"Many Canadian citizens fear the nation is getting the short end of the stick regarding NAFTA. To date, there have been nine cases against Canada under Chapter 11 of NAFTA alone - all of which involved challenges by U.S. companies operating within Canada. Two of these cases revolved around the controversial 1996 Canada-U.S. Softwood Lumber agreement (Molot 163). Another case was brought against Canada by United Parcel Service (UPS), who argued that its Canadian position was being undermined by rivals Purolator Courier, Priority Courier and Expresspost (ibid, 163). Other cases involve Sun Belt Water Inc., who sued Canada for British Columbia's prohibition on the export of fresh water, and Crompton, who has sued the Canadian government for its decision to ban a pesticide desirable to the chemical manufacturer (ibid 163). Many question, then, how the NAFTA agreement is good for Canadians when such legal cases keep rising."

Abstract
This paper explains that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) controversy of the late 1980s galvanized Canadians. The author points out that many conclusions about the negative impact of Free Trade upon working Canadians, noted by by S. McBride and J. Shields, are correct. The paper suggests that other social factors must be considered."
From the Paper
"The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) controversy of the late 1980s galvanized Canadians from coast to coast. In the end, the proponents of Free Trade triumphed, but not without hard feelings on both sides. This paper examines a contentious 1993 article written by S. McBride and J. Shields that denounces the North American Free Trade Agreement as a miscalculation that constitutes an assault upon the traditional Canadian polity (161). In the final analysis, this paper will argue that while McBride and Shields are not wrong in many of their conclusions, their work could still stand a few emendations."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"While many detractors of NAFTA predicted that trade deficits would be the only result of this agreement, they also failed to observe that overall exports to these two other markets, the U.S. and Mexico, would increase greatly as well. Because the U.S. is such a large market it was expected to maintain an overall trade deficit but that NAFTA allowed Canada to increase its trade exports across such a wide swath of industries has been a boon to its economy. Dong states that most consumer products increased in amount vis-a-vis trade among the member states of NAFTA (26). Such an overall increase in consumer-oriented products would have been largely impossible without NAFTA guaranteeing market access to these two neighbouring countries. However, NAFTA's benefits seem to have benefited Canada more than the U.S. where its exports only increased meaningfully in a few product categories such as dog food whereas with Canada such increases were almost inclusive of every product category (Dong 26). Canada's increases in foreign trade and in trade relationships with the U.S. through the NAFTA apparatus elevated its status internationally."

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact that NAFTA has had on the Canadian economy. Through examples of the role that NAFTA has played it is seen that this impact has been largely positive. Areas examined include NAFTA's role in mediating between the U.S. and Canada and increased employment through an increase in trade opportunity, among others. Arguments defending the role of NAFTA against criticism it has faced are also presented.
From the Paper
"Canada and the United States have had a long-standing friendship in which the two nations live peacefully side-by-side. The borders are not armed, the residents of each nation have respect for the other and there are many advantages enjoyed by remaining friendly. Just as any two friends will have disagreements from time to time, Canada and the US have also had their share of problems. One of the problems that has occurred from time to time between the two nations deals with the economics of each nation. NAFTA, which is a membership group designed to promote and improve trade relations within the member nations is sometimes called in to mediate between Canada and the US. NAFTA has had a positive impact on the Canadian economy overall, but it has not been without its problems for the northernmost country of the North American continent."

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), 2007.
This paper discusses the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the U.S., Mexico and Canada and its impact on the U.S. job market.

Abstract
This paper explains that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was designed to open up the Canadian, U.S. and Mexican borders to free trade; however, NAFTA's ratification and implementation over the last decade has not had uniform success. The author points out that, while many detractors of NAFTA had predicted that the U.S. economy would run at an overall trade deficit with both Canada and Mexico, they failed to observe that overall exports to these two markets would increase greatly as well. The paper also examines the impact of NAFTA on the U.S. job market and concludes that some of the apparatus within NAFTA's regulatory structure, which allows for negotiation and renegotiation, should be utilized to make adjustments for the economic impact NAFTA has had on the U.S. economy especially on job loss. The paper includes tables on job creation and loss and wage changes.

"One industry that has been in decline in the U.S. for many years has been the textile industry. NAFTA's detractors often, supported by the U.S. textile industry itself, belabored this point in arguments against ratification of NAFTA. Cook points out that although NAFTA led to expanded markets for the U.S. textile industry by: 1) the elimination of import duties into Mexico on U.S. produced yarns and cotton, and 2) by mandating that Mexican textile manufacturers actually utilize U.S. yarn and cotton in textiles that are exported to the U.S. and Canadian markets."

Abstract
"This paper examines some of the costs and benefits of NAFTA for the Canadian economy. The author evaluates whether or not NAFTA could ever evolve into a more comprehensive alliance along the lines of the European Union. The paper relates that, determining the value of NAFTA to Canada is not a clear-cut case of good or bad.
From the Paper
"There are a variety of benefits and costs for Canada when considering continued participation in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In fact, depending on who is questioned, the risks will alternately outweigh or underscore the benefits that NAFTA has to offer Canada. Determining the value of NAFTA, accordingly, is not a clear-cut case of good or bad. Instead, there are a myriad number of forces at work that can make NAFTA appealing in some instances but not others."

Abstract
This paper explains that the past decade has demonstrated that the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement has generated controversy over whether NAFTA has had a notable impact on the United States. The author analyzes this impact in terms of jobs, the environment, industry, immigration, investments and drug smuggling. The paper relates that many critics blame NAFTA for America's economic problems, while many supporters absolve it of any blame.
From the Paper
"NAFTA has or will remove most barriers to trade and investment among the United States, Canada, and Mexico by 2008. Under NAFTA, all non-tariff barriers to agricultural trade between the United States and Mexico were eliminated. Many tariffs were eliminated immediately, while others are being phased out over periods of five to fifteen years. The past decade has demonstrated that the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement has generated controversy over whether NAFTA has had a notable impact on the United States in terms of jobs, the environment, industry, immigration, investments, and drug smuggling."

Abstract
This paper looks into the ongoing restrictions and complications found in financial capital flows in the NAFTA area. It finds that the primary problem can be attributed to the relative underdevelopment of Mexico's economy and financial markets. While Canada is also disadvantaged by the agreement, cast in the dark shadow of the US, we have a much longer history of open trade with the US and the global economy at large. As a result, our financial markets are also much more developed. Mexico, in contrast, is like the Canada of the early 20th century: still struggling to achieve any meaningful degree of economic development and inherently more prone to keep its proverbial 'guard' up. To provide substance to this assertion, a brief background of the NAFTA agreement will be given followed by highlights of Mexican economic underdevelopment. Armed with this knowledge, an evaluation of the potential for more efficient financial markets in the NAFTA region will be provided.

NAFTA and Its Weaknesses, 2008.
A discussion of the weaknesses of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at the positive and negative effects the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has had in Canada, the United States and Mexico. The paper asserts that NAFTA has taken on somewhat mythical proportions in the minds of its proponents and detractors alike. It holds that NAFTA has primarily struck a dissonant tone with the U.S. and Mexico, while Canada largely accepted its utility. To its detractors NAFTA offered a convenient scapegoat for all of the economic woes since its inception in January 1994, and to its proponents it has been responsible for most of the economic growth periods of the last 10 years. Yet, beyond all the hype, rhetoric, and ideology superficially imposed on it, NAFTA was a dynamic process that required monumental negotiation commitment on the part of the signatories and certainly on the part of Canada as the smallest market.
The paper concludes that, although NAFTA comes with its negative attributes, it has largely proven a boon to the Canadian economy and the country would be ill-advised to withdraw from the treaty.
Outline:
History & Description
NAFTA Weaknesses & Failure
Benefits & Cost Outcomes
Conclusion
From the Paper
"While NAFTA has been somewhat contentious since before its inception, the economic results of the agreement have proven largely inline with the positive projections associated with NAFTA by its designers and supporters. In fact, the increasing reliance on free-trade agreements which essentially become a 5th column in a country's foreign policy mechanism, NAFTA has become not just an economic success but a political template for further free-trade agreements across the globe. Some researchers have pointed out that NAFTA was ground-breaking both for its visionary approach to expanded trade relationships and for its unique integration into the signatory countries' sovereignty."
