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.
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.
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?
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.

Excellent! Let’s also import more Mexican groceries! Fresh fruit and veg and pantry staples (spices, canned stuff, etc).

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.

If this kind of stuff keeps up, Mexico can tell Monsanto/Bayer to get lost.

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'

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

What's the skinny on how this helps poverty of Mexican workers? NAFTA benefited corporations and harmed workers
