In what year did Canada enact free trade with the US?

  1. 1965

  2. 1988

  3. 1994

  4. 2001

The correct answer is: 1988

Canada enacted free trade with the US in 1988. This was the year that the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement was implemented, which eliminated tariffs and other trade barriers between the two countries. This option is correct, as it aligns with historical events and the establishment of the free trade agreement between Canada and the US. Option A (1965) is incorrect as it predates the establishment of the free trade agreement between Canada and the US by over 20 years. Option C (1994) is incorrect as it was the year that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was implemented, expanding the free trade agreement to include Mexico as well. However, this is not the year that Canada enacted free trade with the US specifically. Option D (2001) is incorrect as it is after the establishment of free trade between Canada and the US. Additionally, this year marks the implementation of the Softwood Lumber Agreement between Canada and the US, which was a separate trade agreement and not related to the general free trade agreement between the two countries.
