Canadian-Mexican relations: Rivals more than friends

http://www.economist.com/blogs/americasview/2014/02/canadian-mexican-relations?zid=305&ah=417bd5664dc76da5d98af4f7a640fd8a

This article is basically just all about how Canada says their all good with Mexico. And Mexico is all like, "No, we're ticked at them." Cause Canada is pretty much ignoring them and not trading with them as much as Mexico wants them to. Also there's Canada’s refusal to lift a visa requirement for all visitors from Mexico imposed in 2009 to stem a surge in false-refugee claims. So that's annoying...

This paragraph of the article made me laugh cuz the last sentence is really funny.
"Just before Mr Harper left for Mexico his office put out a press release saying “Mexico and Canada enjoy excellent bilateral relations”. The Mexican ambassador described relations as having entered post-NAFTA old age “with flaws, limitations and increasing wrinkles”. One of them is misreading the situation."

Also this part is funny. 
 "The rancour between two of North America’s three amigos, as the leaders of Canada, Mexico and the United States were once called, predates the visa problem. Canada was a reluctant signatory to the North America Free Trade Agreement, joining to protect access to the American market it secured in a 1989 Canada-US deal rather than out of any desire for closer relations with Mexico. The two have been rivals for US affection and attention ever since."
The last line made me think of a Studio C skit on international relations that I think is hysterical and that you all would enjoy. It's pretty cheesy, but you should watch it.
