NAFTA NO GO: Trudeau Says NO DEAL that Doesn’t Protect Canada's 'Culture and Identity'

posted by Hannity Staff - 9.05.18

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pivoted during high-stakes negotiations on the North American Free Trade Agreement this week; saying he can’t sign-on to any deal that doesn’t protect Canada’s “culture” and history.

According to the CBC, Trudeau “will not sign a renegotiated” NAFTA without direct protections for Canada’s cultural sectors; including media, sports, and other institutions vulnerable for purchase by American corporations.

“It is inconceivable to Canadians that an American network might buy Canadian media affiliates, whether it’s newspapers or TV stations or TV networks. It would be a giving up of our sovereignty and our identity and that is something that we will simply not accept,” said the Prime Minister in Vancouver.

“We’ve made it very clear that defending that cultural exemption is something fundamental to Canadians,” he added.

The Nasdaq composite hit an all-time high Monday morning amid news of a restructured NAFTA deal; breaking 8,000 points and inching up 0.6% after negotiators confirmed a revamped agreement was just hours away.

“The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.6 percent to an all-time high, breaking above 8,000 for the first time, as Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Alphabet. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 214 points as Caterpillar outperformed. The S&P 500 gained 0.6 percent to hit a record high with materials and financials as the best-performing sectors,” writes CNBC.

“The market has been buffeted with a lot of headwinds lately, and the biggest one is trade,” said one industry insider. “If you were to take trade out of the picture, you would have a smoother ride higher in this market.”

The ‘NEW NAFTA’ would center on easing tariffs and limitations on the American automobile and agricultural sectors; two key barriers blasted by President Trump throughout the 2016 campaign.
