On January 1 2008, the final provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was implemented, abolishing all agricultural tariffs that were in effect. The free trade agreement, which was signed by U.S., Mexico, and Canada, took effect at the beginning of 1994. In spite of the driven proselytizing of Mexican President Carlos Salinas Gotari, NAFTA was not beloved by all. In that country, the biggest opposition to NAFTA has come from the peasant farmers, who most recently expressed their indignation in Mexico City, when over 100,000 campesinos, condemned the trade pact at El Zocalo (the city’s central square), on January 31, 2008.”*
