Abstract
This paper discusses the impact that NAFTA has had on the Canadian economy. Through examples of the role that NAFTA has played it is seen that this impact has been largely positive. Areas examined include NAFTA's role in mediating between the U.S. and Canada and increased employment through an increase in trade opportunity, among others. Arguments defending the role of NAFTA against criticism it has faced are also presented.
From the Paper
"Canada and the United States have had a long-standing friendship in which the two nations live peacefully side-by-side. The borders are not armed, the residents of each nation have respect for the other and there are many advantages enjoyed by remaining friendly. Just as any two friends will have disagreements from time to time, Canada and the US have also had their share of problems. One of the problems that has occurred from time to time between the two nations deals with the economics of each nation. NAFTA, which is a membership group designed to promote and improve trade relations within the member nations is sometimes called in to mediate between Canada and the US. NAFTA has had a positive impact on the Canadian economy overall, but it has not been without its problems for the northernmost country of the North American continent."

Abstract
This paper will argue that Smith's and Engels' analysis of the economic processes of production, trade and their long term consequences - although radically different in many respects - may provide useful insights to understanding the turbulent economic changes in Canada in the post-Free Trade (NAFTA) era. Moreover, it will be argued that these changes have profound implications for the continuing existence of "Canadian culture" or, indeed, for the survival of Canada itself.

Abstract
Canada's economy is performing at a median point on the international level. Canada is unique in that it demonstrates the lowest investment share in GNP but also the greatest net exports. In other respects, Canada occupies the international middle ground in virtually every category. Canada, along with other nations who wish to compete internationally now understands that competitiveness must now be defined in a broader, international context. This paper examines the Canadian agricultural industry in terms of its significance to the health and success of the Canadian economy. The paper goes on to discuss the importance of the United States to Canada's economy, pointing out that the United States is currently Canada's largest export market, the main reason being that "Canada's agriculture and agri-food industry has benefited from greater and more secure access to the U.S. market under the NAFTA".

Abstract
This paper shows how the FTA and the NAFTA help the Canadian economy export and import into the United States?s economy. It also discusses how essential the American economy is for Canada to succeed in the international business arena.
From the Paper
"The Canadian economy is largely affected by the United States economy through the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The North American Free Trade Agreement was an agreement that came into effect on January 1,1995 which involves Mexico, Canada and the United States of America. This agreement has been said to produce 1 billion to 3 billion dollar gains in each country. NAFTA ensures that a certain amount of goods produced and traded between the three countries has to have a minimum percentage of its parts produced in North America."

Abstract
Mexico is classified as an upper-middle-income economy by the World Bank and though it is a member of NAFTA, it is still marked with the indelible scar of a developing economy. So, while some successes have seemingly been made, evidenced most prominently by Mexico's participation in NAFTA, there is still a long way to go. This paper will illustrate this sketchy pattern of Mexico's development.

Abstract
This paper relates that America has made Canada dependent on its own resources because of the massive military industrial complex it possesses. The author points out that, due to these economic measures, Canada is bound to resource development and is subject to foreign enterprises, which use Canadian workers for lower wages because of NAFTA. The paper states that, since Canada has not developed a stronger innovative and manufacturing sector along more nationalized lines, it will continue to be enslaved by American economic dominance.
From the Paper
"The first economic aspect of the Williams/Clement article reflects the reliance upon British investment to create the groundwork for Canadian trade throughout the world. This reliance became the manufacturing sectors primary directive until economic problems in the 80's limited Canada's trade powers. In this manner, American companies gained more power in nationalizing trade by working with Canada in building up the economy. The FTA agreement helped to encourage more power from American companies that superseded Canada's own manufacturing base in Ottawa."

Abstract
This paper explains that, a decade after the enactment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) creating a borderless economy, Mexico has benefited from free trade but problems remain if it is to compete effectively with the rest of the world. The author points out that, the unemployment rate is close to zero in northern Mexico where manufacturing still is concentrated; however, manufacturing facilities are spreading out to other parts of the country. The paper stresses that, in spite of the vast improvements in the last ten years, Mexico still has some serious challenges ahead such as (1) the need to create one million new jobs each year in order to absorb the young workers entering the market and (2) smaller companies have trouble upgrading technology because of higher borrowing costs.
From the Paper
"Mexico has come a long way from the catastrophic financial crisis of 1994-1995, when millions of Mexicans were thrust into poverty and life savings were wiped out. Two million jobs were eliminated. The early days of NAFTA had failed to benefit Mexico as expected, and most of the manufacturing exports still came from the maquiladora sector along the northern border with the U.S. A corrupt and unstable political environment limited foreign investment. In January 1995, President Clinton was motivated to provide a $47 billion bailout of the Mexican economy."

NAFTA and Its Weaknesses, 2008.
A discussion of the weaknesses of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the positive and negative effects the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has had in Canada, the United States and Mexico. The paper asserts that NAFTA has taken on somewhat mythical proportions in the minds of its proponents and detractors alike. It holds that NAFTA has primarily struck a dissonant tone with the U.S. and Mexico, while Canada largely accepted its utility. To its detractors NAFTA offered a convenient scapegoat for all of the economic woes since its inception in January 1994, and to its proponents it has been responsible for most of the economic growth periods of the last 10 years. Yet, beyond all the hype, rhetoric, and ideology superficially imposed on it, NAFTA was a dynamic process that required monumental negotiation commitment on the part of the signatories and certainly on the part of Canada as the smallest market.
The paper concludes that, although NAFTA comes with its negative attributes, it has largely proven a boon to the Canadian economy and the country would be ill-advised to withdraw from the treaty.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"While NAFTA has been somewhat contentious since before its inception, the economic results of the agreement have proven largely inline with the positive projections associated with NAFTA by its designers and supporters. In fact, the increasing reliance on free-trade agreements which essentially become a 5th column in a country's foreign policy mechanism, NAFTA has become not just an economic success but a political template for further free-trade agreements across the globe. Some researchers have pointed out that NAFTA was ground-breaking both for its visionary approach to expanded trade relationships and for its unique integration into the signatory countries' sovereignty."

Abstract
The paper discusses the positive benefits of NAFTA with reference to its unique political and foreign policy attributes, as well as to specific economic improvements for its signatory countries. Specifically, the U.S. textile, pet food and soybean industries have all seen massive growth in exports. Yet, the paper shows how these improvements have not been one-sided since both Canada and Mexico have experienced large increases of exports to the U.S. market as well.

Abstract
"This paper examines some of the costs and benefits of NAFTA for the Canadian economy. The author evaluates whether or not NAFTA could ever evolve into a more comprehensive alliance along the lines of the European Union. The paper relates that, determining the value of NAFTA to Canada is not a clear-cut case of good or bad.
From the Paper
"There are a variety of benefits and costs for Canada when considering continued participation in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In fact, depending on who is questioned, the risks will alternately outweigh or underscore the benefits that NAFTA has to offer Canada. Determining the value of NAFTA, accordingly, is not a clear-cut case of good or bad. Instead, there are a myriad number of forces at work that can make NAFTA appealing in some instances but not others."
