Students,
Today we continued our look at the United States and Canada by examining some join policies that they have in place. We continued our discussion on NAFTA the North American Free Trade Agreement, signed into law in 1994, that allows for easier exchange of goods between North American countries. We also discussed NATO the North Atlantic Treaty Organization which allows for the United States as well as some European nations to work together towards global stability.
And a major point of discussion was that of Border Security, particularly in the wake of September the 11th 2001. We learned about stricter government observation and cooperation between the US and Canada regarding crossing the borders.
