Be careful what you wish for - NAFTA agreements

Both Clinton and Obama have made speeches recently saying that they plan to withdraw from our NAFTA agreements with Mexico and Canada. Canada just replied and the Gateway Pundit has the story:
More NAFTA backlash...
Canada Plays the Oil Card.

Canada threatened to disrupt America's priveleged access to Canada's massive oil and gas reserves after Hillary and Obama vowed to withdraw the US from NAFTA.

The Globe and Mail reported:
Americans' privileged access to Canada's massive oil and gas reserves could be disrupted if Washington cancels the NAFTA accord as Democratic presidential candidates threaten, Canadian Trade Minister David Emerson warned yesterday.

"There's no doubt if NAFTA were to be reopened we would want to have our list of priorities," he said.

"Knowledgeable observers would have to take note of the fact that we are the largest supplier of energy to the United States, and NAFTA has been kind of a foundation of integrating the North American energy market," Mr. Emerson said.

Lets be honest - when they say 'Nafta' they really mean Mexico.
