Killing NAFTA could revive manufacturing

Given that Canada is America’s largest and most accessible trading partner, if either side withdraws from NAFTA, it is likely that Canada would graduate back to most-favoured-nation status, according to long-established U.S. practice.

Such an arrangement might well trigger a renaissance in Canadian pricing and investment, and might possibly reinvigorate a once-envied manufacturing capacity, effectively moribund since 1988 and the original FTA.
