NAFTA: Early sticking points encountered on numerous issues

MEXICO CITY — Negotiators have run into a series of early sticking points on nearly every major element considered key to achieving a new NAFTA agreement, according to sources who describe a dialogue-of-the-deaf-like approach to sensitive issues.
A recurring pattern has emerged during the current round of talks in Mexico City, said sources with knowledge of the discussions: a country will raise a prized priority, only to have another systematically refuse to engage the conversation.
“The tone is negative,” said one source, who added that it’s still early, he remains hopeful a deal can be reached this year, and that obstinacy is to be expected in initial bargaining.
He cited two examples.
One is the Canadians asking for greater access to professional visas. It’s a priority not just for the Canadians, but also for businesses that struggle to send staff across the border. NAFTA’s visa list is outdated and doesn’t include modern digital jobs. The Americans have pushed off that conversation, which risks bumping into that country’s sensitive immigration politics…

TORONTO — Equifax Canada says non-mortgage consumer debt climbed 3.3 per cent year-over-year in the second quarter and warns that consumers’ ability to keep up with their debt payments could be affected as interest rates and borrowing costs rise.

Alberta had the highest provincial average, at $28,240 of non-mortgage consumer debt per person — up 1.8 per cent from last year — followed by Saskatchewan ($24,690) and British Columbia ($24,026)…
