On NAFTAs tenth anniversary, our ultimate goal remains its abolition. NAFTA must be replaced with a more balanced and democratic continental trade and development pact to govern flows of commodities, capital, and finance within the continent. We need a progressive vision of continental economic integration in which countries retain the ability to pro-actively manage economic development and win a fair share of desireable jobs in highvalue industries. We need a vision in which the rights of businesses and investors are balanced with the rights of workers, communities, and migrants. We should be able to trade with each other, without having to harmonize our taxes and social programs in a race to the bottom. This implies promoting more trade and investment in North America, but at the same time limiting the ability of corporations to relocate their money and their plants, playing worker against worker and country against country. tech industries weve been able to build in Canada (like auto and aerospace), like retaining the right to determine for ourselves who gets into Canada and who doesnt. If it turns out that winning some of these things requires us to break the free trade agreements, then Canadians will be ready and willing to do so. Here are some concrete ways for us to advance the struggle against free trade: Resist the broadening and deepening of NAFTA. We can address current problems like congestion at the CanadaU.S. border with sensible, incremental investments in border infrastructure and other bilateral initiatives, without giving up our ability to set our own policies on security, immigration, and tariffs.
