"Bucking the economic philosophy of many Republican leaders, President Trump has tested Canadians’ good will towards the United States...Thirty years of free trade between Canada and the United States and an even longer history of continental integration will not easily be swept away. But that requires diligence and statesmanship on the part of all stakeholders—and of one in particular."

Alyshia Gálvez, City University of New York
Expert on agricultural & health consequences of NAFTA 
Office: 718-960-5115  Email: [email protected]

"In the two decades since NAFTA, small-scale agricultural producers have become less able to grow food for themselves and their communities. Big U.S. food producers flooded Mexican markets with less healthy products... Although rural and low-income communities can now consume like the industrialized urban populations, they pay the price in their health."
