Show Notes
Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chrystia Freeland says that taking it slow with NAFTA is a good thing because it allows time to consult with Canadians, and so we’d like to oblige the offer. Tune in as we speak with Trade Campaigner with the Council of Canadians, Sujata Dey, on issues ranging from labor standards to the protection of public goods and the right to water – as well as the question, ‘can Canada make it alone?’

Plus from Brian Mulroney and John Turner to Al Gore and Ross Perot, we’ll do our best to put NAFTA into its proper context so you can see just how we arrived here in the first place.

It’s life, music, talk – all grown up – you’re listening to the Nancy Duffy Show –let’s get started!

Thank you for listening!
