Recall that NAFTA was
formed to govern all trade and business relations, including sports and the
arts.
In the case of
sports, there are lessons that conceivably translate into other areas:
manufacturing, natural resources, agriculture …
How in the world
can the US and Canada find common ground, agree on even the basic terms of to
come to a trilateral agreement, if
1/ In Canada’s
national sport, ice hockey, the social-political axis spins on facts like this:
The last preseason game been pro teams in Ottawa and Montreal served as a platform
to report that in a week the team, players and fans had led efforts to raise
more than $300,000 for those in need following freak tornados in the Ottawa region. The money would be used to
address two areas: food security and mental health.
2/ In America’s
national sport, football, courageous players kneel during the singing of the
national anthem to protest the country’s crisis in social justice, and rather
than the act serve as a hero’s call to address the problem, it divides the
country and worsens its social and political divide.
Nope. Nothing to
say to each other here. Whatever was signed isn’t worth the paper upon which I’m
writing this note.
