ok, i've got to ask: what is it about nafta that is pissing people off?
it's the third time in a short while i've seen similar reference, without
any further comment.

now don't get me wrong. i know what nafta is (i think).
North American Free Trade Agreement; a free trade agreement between the US,
Canada and Mexico, and FTA normally means that you can export your goods to
other countries within the agreement without enormous protection tax, and
vice versa.
am i missing something here?

thanks
