The Canadian leadership is interested in more diverse and resilient supply chains via Mexico, while the Mexican government wants to increase bilateral trade through direct access to Canadian ports, making the country less dependent on existing US maritime channels.
LOL. Love this.
Excellent! Let’s also import more Mexican groceries! Fresh fruit and veg and pantry staples (spices, canned stuff, etc).
Careful: a lot of "Product of Mexico" fruit and veggies are actually still American companies that control much of the supply chain and possibly even the farmland.
Avocados from Mexico?
Look at the label, dig into the company. Who's the owner, CEO, where was it founded, etc.
It's not something easy to avoid. I just wanted to make people aware.
yea those are usually controlled owned by american companies. tropical fruits cant be grown in temperate regions like the US.
I think they were repeating a meme
This is why we voted for this economic nerd
If this kind of stuff keeps up, Mexico can tell Monsanto/Bayer to get lost.
I hope the agreement is "Fuck America"
Eh... They seem to doing a pretty good job of that on their own...
Both of these countries are in America...
Very nice!
Great news. I hope they're prepared to fend off the yanks who will want screw this up
It's all fun until the U.S. navy starts an unofficial blockade of Cargo ships bypassing American ports...maybe forcing them to dock for 'inspections'
Yeah, kinda making my point for me. They're literally murdering people in international waters, you think they can't harass shipping that attempts to bypass them?
also stretching out the navy to do these BS blockades is only going to compromise the branch.
Let's see how long it takes orange fuck-face to start claiming Mexican ships coming to Canada are "cartel boats"...
BOOM YEAH! Both Mexico and Canada are extremely close to my heart, I'm very excited to hear this
Wow, so Canada needs mexico more than Mexico needs Canada. That's counter intuitive
That doesn't make any sense. Trade doesn't have to be perfectly equal. You want good agreements and free trade without bloated orange meat bags hijacking and stopping trade.
As long as these agreements don't include the US, that's a good step in the right direction.
MECA?
CAME
What's the skinny on how this helps poverty of Mexican workers? NAFTA benefited corporations and harmed workers
