It will be ratified in Canada without a doubt. The negotiations spanned both Liberal and Conservative governments, and the public wants contingency plans for US trade disruptions. Trump has made very clear that he does not value free trade with Canada, and his threat to dissolve NAFTA is a serious one. Expanded trade with Europe (CETA) and the Pacific Rim (CPTPP) would strengthen Canada's negotiating position by reducing our dependency on the United States.
