NAFTA says nothing about tying the pump price of gasoline to the price
south of the border.

It DOES say that Canada can't apply restrictions on our exports to the
US that are more onerous than we apply on our domestic supplies.

THAT's the hammer we would have in any renegotiation of NAFTA.

Remove that clause, and we would have right to turn off the pipelines
to protect domestic supply. Under the current agreement, that's not
possible.

If it isn't in NAFTA there is some other agreement that requires pricing to
be tied to the nearest US city. I have heard it several times, just can't
remember the context.
