you mean the ones who are bound by treaty obligations?

They weren't treaties, treaties have to be ratified by the scum in the
senate. They are merely trade agreements, and can be altered or quashed at
any time.

really? from the wikipedia site:

In 1988 Canada and the United States signed the Canada-United States
Free Trade Agreement after which the U.S. Congress approved
implementing legislation. The American government then entered into
negotiations with the Mexican government for a similar treaty, and
Canada asked to join the negotiations in order to preserve its
perceived gains under the 1988 deal.[1]

Following diplomatic negotiations dating back to 1986 between the
three nations, the leaders met in San Antonio, Texas, on December 17,
1992, to sign NAFTA. U.S. President George H. W. Bush, Canadian Prime
Minister Brian Mulroney and Mexican President Carlos Salinas, each
responsible for spearheading and promoting the agreement, ceremonially
signed it. The agreement then needed to be ratified by each nation's
legislative or parliamentary branch.
