If NAFTA fails Canada should not make a trade deal with the US IMHO.
As Mexico states, tariffs have fallen world wide. The US has consistently slapped tariffs on Canadian goods even with NAFTA and with the current America First policy I can't see compromise and consensus occurring during trade talks. If US stepped out, I'm sure China and other markets would step in. China has already indicated that with the milk solids plant in Ontario. Canada is wealthy enough to not be as affected by China's foreign aid soft loan policies and large enough to absorb Chinese immigrants if that became a negotiation point.

Doubly so under Trump, who seems to think that partners can't benefit.
