BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

External geopolitical framing: French coverage analyzes the agreement as a North American issue without measuring its impact on European exporters to the region.

Preference for the Mexican perspective: the media gives more attention to Mexico's position than to Ottawa's, despite both being equally exposed partners.

Limited coverage of labor stakeholders: the analysis prioritizes governments and business unions, without giving a voice to the workers in the affected industrial sectors.
