He's more against Mexico than Canada. Canadian oil, gas and energy products are sold to US at such a low price because of NAFTA. No US president can afford to declare trade war with Canada.

Oil and energy are sold in world market price.

No, they are sold at OPEC price, and OPEC price is determined by how much oil the oil-producing nations are willing to supply to the rest of world.Just remember that the US will never back off on anything unless you have a way to force it to do so. Oil and energy are Canada's cards in any trade negotiation.

A change of NAFTA may give US a right to tariff Canadian imports. A few years ago, when the US tariff the Canadian softwood lumber, thounsands of workers in that industry lost jobsAnd the US eventually backed off after Canada threatened to halt oil shipment

As usual, you fabricated the fact. US put a duty on softwood imports. Canada did not threaten to shut off the oil. Canada eventually gave in and signed a deal to cap softwood exports. In the deal, Canada explicitly asks for two year notice period,much longer than usual (6 month or 1 year).

这个文章并没有你说的“Canada threatened to halt oil shipment”。 文章说加
拿大打中国牌， 向中国出口石油。事情发生在2005年马丁政府面临选举的时候。
妥协是保守党政府做的。 这期间加拿大从未说过要“halt oil shipment”

So you are saying 'Imperil U.S. Access to Oil ' means 'Canada will export oil to China'? You need to do a better research before accusing others of fabricating

最直接的关系就是大批TN工作者要回到加拿大，TN是NAFTA的一部分。再有就是你从美国买东西回来除了要交税之外还要交关税。其他贸易影响不是直接的，但对双方打击却是巨大的。小奥同学搞这个绝对得不偿失，讨好了一部分人，得罪了很多人，毫无经济头脑。

It's very hard for Obama to win the Republicans. His name is Barak Hussein Obama. How will Americans feel when their future President's name resonate two of their most hated names? And his picture wearing Muslim gown will come back to haunt him.The Republicans are just waiting for him to take out Clinton, then they will start to dump the whole shit on him

NAFTA的本质是取消北美贸易壁垒，但站在美国的立场，NAFTA十五年来一直没有变化，已不适合美国经济的现状，美国中部经济以低技术含量制造业为主，受加墨出口的冲击尤其大，NAFTA的重大修订势在必行，这对加拿大制造业绝对是个坏消息。对广大搞IT的TN们，则大可不必担心TN只是NAFTA名目繁多的条款之一，美国一直强调提高生产效率，而IT是主要手段之一，因此即使TN job list会被消减，也不会影响到IT，在可预见的未来IT的前景是光明的。

I understand the US will probably target Mexico and China which it considers taking American jobs using their low-cost labor. But targeting Canada does not make too much sense since Canada does not compete by low-cost labor

Your understanding is incorrect. US competes with Canada but not China and Mexico. China goods has duty imposed. Unless US drastically increases the duty rate, Chinese goods are still cheap. US can not compete.

US trade deficit with China was $256.3 billion in 2007, and the deficit with Canada was $64.2. Also most of this deficit is Canadian export of oil and other energy products not manufactured goods.In addition, Canada is a strong US ally in world stage and a NATO member, but China is its major competitor. I still believe what Clinton and Obama are saying about NAFTA is simply pre-election rhetoric rather than indication of policy changes

Interesting thing is most Canadians are strongly against Bush and the Republic party. However, the Bush administration has been a strong promoter of free trade which in large part contribute to the booming economies in Canada and China in recent years.This time again, Canadian put the wrong bet on Obama and Clinton, but in the end, it's a McCain Presidency that can help us economic-wise.
