Turnabout is fair play. Apparently Canada wants The United States to raise wages.

One of the reasons the President wanted to reopen negotiations on a revised North American Free Trade Agreement was that most Americans are worried about losing jobs to the southern side of the border because of the lower wages the Mexicans make. It turns out the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has the same issue with the nation immediately south of his border, namely the United States for the geographically illiterate. Prime Minister Trudeau would like the United States government to get rid of the right to work laws in some states which hurt unions and as a result high wages and labor standards. With the shoe on the other foot, let's see how the Trump Administration negotiates its way out of this. It is time for the art of the deal.
