A large number of US states count Canada as their largest trade partner. If NAFTA is cancelled by Trump, his ignorance will hurt and disrupt as many businesses in the US as Canada. It has taken decades for this economic integration to develop. It would be a tragedy to disrupt it for stupid political ideology that does not have any basis in economic reality. There are enough real problems in this world to deal with. Please don’t destroy an economic relationship that benefits both countries equally.

Personally, I think that Canada and Mexico should not compromise. If Trump walks away, he walks away. If Canada is smart, they'll start pushing for a single trading block (CANZUK) with OZ, NZ, and the UK. When CANZUK is in place, the US will be far more receptive to a trade deal that benefits Canada as well to get into that market. The same goes for the UK and its negocitations with the EU. If CANZUK happens, the US will NEVER be able to push Canada around or treat it like an inferior partner.
