What has the NAFTA had on Canada?
· One of those concerns is how NAFTA has cost workers their jobs:
Instead of increasing, Canada has lost 398, 837 jobs ever since NAFTA began, from 1994 to 2001.
· Canada is too dependant on United States as Canada's source of economy.
The United States is Canada's largest trading partner; this is a concern because close relationship between the economy trades of two countries resembles a double edged sword. Although Canada's economy will become more powerful when United State's economy becomes powerful, there is always a chance of the opposite results occurring.
· Canadian Industries and companies are becoming less competitive:
It increases employment in those profiting companies (ie auto), but it decreases those little small companies (ie refrigerator companies in Canada) because the ones in the US overpower them.
Canada is losing its culture:

Environment gets damaged
- NAFTA has caused huge amounts of toxic waste to be dumped into Countries with weak environment laws, Canada that is. This increases the risks of contaminating the drinking water in Canada. Because of NAFTA, Canada is now importing four times the hazardous waste from the United States.
- NAFTA has also increased the traffic movement between borders. The pollution from caused from traffic, contributes to the rising temperatures of global warming.
80 per cent of Canadians live within 100 kilometres of the American border. (Traffic congestion and delays along the border causing pollution to release in the air)
- NAFTA allows United States to take advantage of Canada and its resources:
For years and years now, Canada has been trading other countries with their advantage of many natural resources. Now that NAFTA came into affect, USA also has the advantages with Canada's natural resources. This will cause more clear-cutting and natural areas to be destroyed.

[Canada is not most hated im not from Canada im from Australia but Canada is not most hated.]
The previous answer wasn't even an answer at all.
People don't hate Canada, it's simple nationality rousing. You'll get it all the time, mainly over the internet. The problem with U.S and Canadians [which are the main culprits lately] is that we are SO similar that we WANT to find something different so that we can fit stereotypes that we don't agree with.
For example:
"The U.S sucks! Have fun destroying the middle east for no reason!"
"Well at least we're not afraid of everyone. Oh, that's right! You're peace keepers yet there you are, not keeping the peace! Hell, you have free healthcare and you're still scared of it!"
"That's because we're not bullies! We don't need to attack smaller nations to feel good about ourselves. At least our people aren't sheepish enough to follow blindly into anything some stupid, old politician gets himself into!"
It's friendly competition, no matter how heated it gets. At the end of the day, if either of us we're to desperately need the other, we'd be there. The war in the middle east is NOT a desperate need.
Canada and the U.S are brothers. Ask any war veteran for starters, or anyone with a clear head on their shoulders.
Don't grow up thinking we hate each other, the world has enough problems.

What is the life in northern canada like?
Well, there's lots of free health care, but taxes are very high. The education system apparently isn't as good as that of the UK or the US. It gets quite cold, since it's in the northern part of North America, but the weather is pretty nice in the summer and spring.
Why did people in Canada move from farms to cities?
More job opportunities with better pay and a better life is more desirable than the hard work, low pay and hard life on a farm. People who only seen farms as a way to make money from were disappointed and found that city life and jobs in the city were better opportunities than staying on the farm. For those who see farming as a way of life and enjoy hard work, and are also flexible to changing agricultural practices are the ones that stay on longer and continue to stay on.
It's really no different from what's happened or happening in the United States. People in the US moved from the farms to the cities for the same reasons above.
