This is exactly why we have to exit NAFTA. They did win the case. We haven't won a case before the WTO yet. Everyone else gets to plunder our resources.

Before NAFTA Reagan gave the British our gold mines. The Queen knighted him for making her very wealthy. NAFTA has been for the benefit of Canada and Europe...Britain, etc. It is not good for us.

Canada is dumping their waste in Michigan until 2010. Truck loads pass over the border. Since when is garbage trade? It is a bad trade deal for US and the people of Michigan.

Who convinced America this was a good deal? Our trade deficit grows with time. Don't let the candidates get away with just environmental and working conditions. It's a lot more than that. We lose billions in trade and have to pay fines on top of that. Not only that but our borders are to be open to trucks, immigration, regulations made by unelected/unknowns behind closed doors. Fair trade for who but the few.

Nader spoke about this last night. He's right and not one of our Democratic candidates for President have it right. What representative of the people?

Follow the money? Well it seems our "friends" are taking it with open door policy. We have huge debt and yet this gold wouldn't help? It's staggering the incompetence of this govenment.

NAFTA is robbery of our resources and wealth.
