On his trip to Canada, Mexican President Vicente Fox expressed an interest in creating a North American Free Trade Deal for energy.
Fox said with Canada, the United States and Mexico all losing jobs to China and Asia, an energy pact is the next logical step.
"To meet this competitive challenge and protect jobs, we must work together," he said.
And then he says this:
Fox said a decade with NAFTA has been very successful for his country and he would like to see it expanded.
"We want to further extend this investment - not only in trade, but to have a NAFTA policy in energy, a NAFTA security policy, NAFTA markets in
financing policies."
So here's my problem. I really don't like this idea very much and I just can't come up with a logical reason for it. I'm just too busy reacting
to seeing the word NAFTA three times in one sentence.
I think that Canada signed a crappy deal the first time and I don't want to see it expanded.
