What year marked Canada’s initiation of free trade with the United States?

  1. After WWII

  2. 1988

  3. The year NAFTA was signed

  4. 2000

The correct answer is: 1988

The year 1988 marked Canada's initiation of free trade with the United States. This was a result of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA), which was signed by Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and US President Ronald Reagan in 1988. While options A and D are after 1988, they do not specifically mark the initiation of free trade between the two countries. Option C, mentioning NAFTA, is incorrect because NAFTA was signed in 1994, six years after the initiation of free trade between Canada and the US. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer.
