Is Canada getting pushed to the side in NAFTA negotiations?

Trudeau’s team, led by Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, has been rebuffed in recent attempts to discuss changes to the North American Free Trade Agreement, according to three people with knowledge of the negotiations.
quote:
Canada hasn’t been excluded from the talks, according to a Canadian government official who asked to remain anonymous because the negotiations are private. The country encourages the U.S. and Mexico to talk to each other, and in order for the three countries to reach an agreement, the U.S. and Mexico largely have to sort out issues between them, autos being the primary one, the official said.
quote:
“If Canada wants to go forward on this, they’re going to have to find something to gain the attention of the Americans and push this to conclusion,” said Mark Warner, a trade lawyer and principal at Toronto-based MAAW Law. “They might have to compromise on some of the issues that they’ve been characterizing as red line issues.”
quote:
Canada could find itself in a position where the U.S. and Mexico come to an agreement on key aspects of the deal, and the Trudeau government is told to “take it or leave it,” said Peter Clark, a trade consultant and former Canadian government official. “We’re between a rock and a hard place. I don’t see an easy way out.”

As pointed out in South Park, Canada could go on strike and no one would notice

Trudeau should have kept his fricking mouth shut after G8.

Wanna know why Canada is fricked?
Because they do not have an electoral college like ours. Theirs is built around a Parliamentary system like the U.K. and it's "first past the post" system which is basically a popularity contest controlled by the big cities and overriding the will of middle Canadians.
Hillary woumd have won, Socialists will almost always win, in such a system and Conservatives will almost always be the opposition party fighting an uphill unwinnable battle.

I'm shocked this is the case with a hard charging team like this representing them.

More accurate to say Justin Trudeau is being pushed aside. Canada is a great country, but being overrun by brain dead progressives, much like the U.S.
Anyone who hasn't caught on to Trump's negotiation style is dumb. You will either sit down and talk with him or you will be ignored. Most countries cannot afford to be ignored by the U.S., economically or militarily.

Trade wars are easy to win.
