Canada has renegotiated a free trade agreement with our largest trading partner, the US, and Mexico, known as USMCA. In your opinion, should Canada be pursuing free trade agreements with other countries, such as the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the EU, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), or the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)? Why or why not?

Before Canada signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a fierce public debate took place. Some economic actors were going to gain from the agreement, while others stood to lose. Associate each economic group below with their expected outcome from NAFTA (Gain, lose, neither): - Workers in the auto industry - Consumers - Hair salon owners - Exporters of niche products only produced in Canada - Workers in the manufacturing industry

Assume that Norway and Sweden trade with each other, with Norway exporting fish to Sweden, and Sweden exporting Volvos (automobiles) to Norway. Illustrate the gains from trade between the two countries using the standard trade model, assuming first that tastes for the goods are the same in both countries, but that the production possibility frontiers differ: Norway has a long coast that borders on the north Atlantic, making it relatively more productive in fishing. Sweden has a greater endowment of capital, making it relatively more productive in automobiles.
