| The NAFTA Flag |
For the few of you not in the know, NAFTA stands for the North American Free Trade Agreement.
January 1, 2011 will mark the 17th anniversary of the initial implementation of NAFTA. Full implementation began in 2008. The goal behind NAFTA was to eliminate trade barriers between the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In the 1990s, NAFTA was one of the most debated topics.
As of late, NAFTA has been out of the news. A search on CNN.com for the term “NAFTA” resulted in more hits for Larry King’s top stories, as opposed to current stories about the agreement. However, just because a topic is not popular in the mainstream media, do not diminish its relevance.
