There can't exist a fair trade agreement between a country with a minimum wage of 10-13$ an hour with a country with a minimum wage of 4$ A DAY (!!!). The States have a lower minimum wage than ours for the most part (depending on the state-province you're comparing), but it's at least in the same ball park. Our provinces can compete with tax breaks or aiming to reduce interest or any other economic strategy to attract business to this side of the border. With Mexico it's simply impossible to compete. They get the labour (to the detriment of our working class), we get slightly cheaper products that don't even begin to compensate for the loss of manufacturing jobs Canada has suffered since NAFTA was signed.

Canada signals possible U.S. trade deal that excludes Mexico to avoid ‘collateral damage’ In theory Canada has nothing to worry about a re-negotiation of NAFTA aiming to 'protect' American workers. The Canadian working class makes more money/is more expensive than America's. If anything it's in Canada's best interest to have labour protection amendments to the deal, so we don't lose manufacturing jobs to Indiana like we did in the past. Also "kicking Mexico out" (if it indeed happens) would be a pretty good deal for both the US and Canada tbh.
