THE BAD NEIGHBOR POLICY:

Democrats Rile Canada, Mexico: Vows To Renegotiate Nafta Met With Stiff Resistance (JOSH GERSTEIN, February 28, 2008, NY Sun)

Canada and Mexico are rebuking the top Democratic presidential candidates, senators Clinton and Obama, for vowing to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement and threatening to pull out of the pact altogether if America's neighbors refuse.

"Nafta has been a win-win-win for Mexico, the United States and Canada, proving that a rising tide can lift all boats," the Mexican ambassador to America, Arturo Sarukhan, said in a written statement. "Mexico does not support reopening Nafta. It would be like throwing a monkey wrench into the engine of North American competitiveness."


On the bright side, they aren't serious about changing the deal. It's just racial.

It's just racial.

Canadians are now a race? If you are going to keep snorting those WSJ editorials, you may need to grind them into a finer powder.

They never mention Canada, which is dispositive. Perot's sucking sound had a Spanish accent.

Well, perhaps we could say "It's racial," on the grounds that it's a mulatto moonbat who is spouting this protectionist demogogery.
