Talk:North American Free Trade Agreement
As I recall, the Canada-U.S. part of NAFTA started around 1990. 1994 was when Mexico was brought into the mix. Kingturtle 22:42 Apr 15, 2003 (UTC)
Copyright notice from the NAFTA Secretiat site. There was a suggestion on the article page that all the data on that site is free. It is pretty free, but thought I'd put a link to their copyright notice so you can judge, if you wish, if its GFDL compatible. Pete 10:33, 10 Oct 2003 (UTC)
perscription drugs
U.S. citizens go to canada to buy the same drugs at a cheaper price. And it is considered illegal to do so. But doesn't NAFTA say there is free trade? Kingturtle 04:30, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
NAFTA facts
I'm not sure the best way to incorporate the items in this list into this article. But here are some "facts" I scraped off the net concerning NAFTA.
- NAFTA was originally a Republican initiative.
- First advanced as an idea by Ronald Reagan in his presidential campaign of 1980.
- In one of his last acts as President, Bush (41) signed the completed agreement on December 17, 1992, and forwarded it to Congress, where it awaited the new President.
- 08 December 1993 President Bill Clinton signed NAFTA into law
- On November 8, 1994, George W. Bush (43) was elected to the first of his two terms as Governor of Texas. As governor he supported NAFTA. --Buster 07:29, Jul 14, 2004 (UTC)
NAFTA was pushed in with Canada at the height of it's right wing politics with Mulroney and with Reagan, you figure out what the agenda of this damn thing is. Roley
