Some say there is nothing funny about free trade. NAFTA Boy disrespectfully disagrees
Humorous, Informational, Thoughtful
English
Some say there is nothing funny about free trade. NAFTA Boy disrespectfully disagrees: ?NAFTA has meant middle-class Mexicans buying Chinese-made products in U.S. malls and idle Americans going to Tijuana to buy counterfeit medicine and plastic surgery at cheap prices. That sounds like fair trade to me!?
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) went into force on January 1, 1994. NAFTA Boy has been complaining about the free trade pact between Canada (his homeland), Mexico and the United States ever since. This series of brutal commentaries about the U.S.-Mexico border demonstrates how almost everyone loses in the era of globalization. Hosted by Jamie Cooper, a Canadian Barrister and law professor in the U.S., The Adventures of NAFTA Boy is a full contact sport. Be sure to wear shin guards!
