I was under the impression that NAFTA is the reason that Canada is included. Am I misinformed? If NAFTA is the reason, isn't Mexico equivalent to Canada in this context? Could someone clarify this aspect of the export situation, or perhaps point me at a document that explains the situation?
Zeke I believe not. The ITAR regulations have been around for a lot longer
than NAFTA. I would speculate that it is because the US and Canada have traditionally exchanged a lot of military technology and hardware, e.g. NORAD.
