Extract

On January 1, 1989, the much-heralded—or much-maligned, depending on which side of the border you sit—U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) went into effect. With only a year and a half under its belt, the FTA continues to generate discussion and debate in Canada, as it has ever since Prime Minister Mulroney proposed the idea at the “Shamrock Summit” in 1985. The FTA is actually generating some columns in the U.S. press as well. Agricultural and natural-resource topics remain prominent in U.S.-Canadian trade issues.
