Read The Economist article,
"No mariachis, please: Some Canadians think they are more important than Mexicans" and "Don't keep on trucking:Mexico retaliates against American congressmen who want closed borders"

Also, should Canada seek to strengthen its hand with Washington by negotiating stronger bilateral agreements at the expense of Mexico? Why or why not?
