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

  1. 1988

  2. 1994

  3. 1967

  4. 1980

The correct answer is: 1988

Canada enacted free trade with the US in 1988. This was a result of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA) and marked the first time Canada had a free trade agreement with a major economy. The other options, while they may have been significant years in Canadian history, are incorrect because they do not correspond with the specific event of Canada enacting free trade with the US. Option B (1994) may be a significant year as it is the year that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) came into effect, which built upon the CUSFTA. However, the question specifically asks about the year of enactment, which was 1988. Similarly, options C (1967) and D (1980) may have been important years for Canada, but they do not relate to the implementation of free trade specifically with the US. Therefore, option A (1988) is the correct answer.
