You probably have heard the news that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in the White House on Monday.
I think you can guess the main agenda item for their meeting – the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
I know that you are concerned about the impact NAFTA has had on jobs, the environment and democracy – not just in Canada but in the U.S. and Mexico too.
That’s why we outlined a set of bold demands that we want the prime minister to carry into his meeting with the American president.
At the top of that list, any renegotiation of NAFTA should begin with extensive public consultations so our government is clear about your priorities.
So far, the Liberals have been unwilling to commit to this.
You and I already know Trump’s goal in renegotiating NAFTA is to “put America first.” But the question is, what will Trudeau put on the table?
Please take a few moments now to tell Prime Minister Trudeau that NAFTA renegotiations cannot be another backroom deal.
You can also personalize your letter. What do you want him to stand up for? For water? For public health care? For the environment? For an end to corporate lawsuits?
