    The NFU drawing attention to the fact that the NAFTA about to be signed is different to the one negotiated.

    Not many details there to describe what exactly is the issue. No way Trudeau or Freeland will be able to figure it out, minimal brain capacity there.

      Agreed ...is there a translation to layman terms? But there isn't a lot of brain capacity for myself to interpret it either...

        The letter was written in the proper context for sending to the Government. If you want to know the nitty gritty look up the US site they mention to read the revised version and compare it to the original. They didn't have to spell out the detail to the Government in the letter as they are presumably aware of it.
        Point was is any other organization paying any attention to this before the signing today.

          NAFTA signing

          Yes, talked with Dairy Mb and he mentioned details have been changing from original deal. The fine print details are being ironed out 🤔

            You'd think the text would be finalized before it was getting signed.

                Well I see they've applied today for intervener status in the SK Gov versus Feds Climate Change Constitutional case if that's what you mean.
                In general terms I fully support their policy on the Carbon Tax. Not sure it's right for them to be intervening in this court case as an organization.
