If you watched the news today. Obama and Clinton decided to go after NAFTA. They said, as president, they would want to renegotiate NAFTA with Canada and Mexico, and if not, they will drop out of NAFTA.
However, this was done in Ohio, where there have been tons of problems with people stealing their jobs and such and there is reason to believe that this is simply a campaign ploy by the candidates.

Completely dropping out of NAFTA, despite reservations, would be a harmful move. I do not fully support the structures in which NAFTA has been organized, but a reversal of the same would lead to economic disaster for Mexico (and Canada to an extent.)

Ya, I don't think they will ever drop out of NAFTA, it's just a campaign ploy in Ohio. However, I think NAFTA is just a keyword for MEXICO Illegal Immigrants :p
Even if the US wanted to renegotiate NAFTA, Canada probably won't be too affected. It's mostly about Mexico

Actually, a renegotiation would be in our favour.
I do not subscribe to nationalistic views very often, but there are some large inadequacies in our side of the pact.

It will certainly favour the US above anyone else. Renegotiating would likely not benefit Canada.

True.
Likely it will not be renegotiated at all.
