New Really?
I thought the wealth redistro-up effect of NAFTA was self-evident ;-)

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.

New Not with respect to Canada, at least.
We have a number of Canadian employees who love NAFTA.

You see, they get paid in US dollars, and they get to take them back across the border where the cost of living is measured in Canadian dollars. NAFTA is like a 50% raise for these folks, once they start working across the border in the US.

YMMV. ;-)
