This is pretty thick, coming from the company that supplied all the napalm used by the U.S. in Vietnam:

Quebec herbicide ban violates NAFTA, pesticide maker alleges

quote:
A company that makes the commonly used herbicide ingredient 2,4-D is challenging the Quebec government under the North American Free Trade Agreement for banning its product.

The Canadian unit of Dow AgroSciences alleges the prohibition of the weed killer is without any scientific basis and in violation of the trade agreement between Canada, the United States and Mexico. ...

On April 3, 2006, Quebec brought in a sweeping pesticide ban, pulling more than 200 products from provincial shelves.

This is more similar to Canada's position than it would first appear.

Vietnam also entered into a corporatist relationship with the US just before it was coated with napalm and Agent Orange. Brian Mulroney should have to drink a glass of napalm every morning, just to show how safe the product is.
