Nothing is going to stop this treaty period, do as many protests as one likes, put out as many scary emails most people will never see, its a done deal and anyone who thinks its not is kidding themselves.<br /><br /> Canadians signed the TPP spiritually if not literally the moment they voted for Trudeau, there was never a chance he wouldn't sign itill. The Americans still have a chance thanks to Bernie, but for us it over, but for going through the motions.<br /><br /> This email matters is not, and its not even scary, the TPP is scary, compared to that this is boring geasure.Gyorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773307017058386989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-65490381086153668112016-02-08T12:39:16.819-08:002016-02-08T12:39:16.819-08:00While Tom is right to point out the obvious, it wi...While Tom is right to point out the obvious, it will take more than a scare tactic to change the likely trajectory of the TPP, Mound. I will be very interested to see if Trudeau is true to his word that he will have a full discussion of it in the House of Commons, but surely any criticism of it will have to come from the NDP, since they are the only party, I believe, that has consistently opposed it.<br /><br />Of course, that doesn't rule out more hypocrisy from the 'new' Conservative Party, which should, if nothing else, prove entertaining and prove yet more fodder for all of the cynical souls out there, including mine.Lornehttp://www.politicsanditsdiscontents.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-92196539675723346512016-02-08T12:26:43.668-08:002016-02-08T12:26:43.668-08:00http://rabble.ca/news/2016/02/tpp-has-already-impa...http://rabble.ca/news/2016/02/tpp-has-already-impacted-canadian-law-and-its-not-even-ratified-yet<br />"...started the process of complying with multiple IP treaties, confirming yet again that the TPP has already had an impact on Canadian law well before any decision on ratification has been made."Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-49819016277374160752016-02-08T11:56:17.307-08:002016-02-08T11:56:17.307-08:00You're right, Ben.

It's time for new leadership, not the old guy on the bus that you never quite take your eye off.<br /><br />He knows that the deal isn't signed. Surely he has something better to offer than bullshit. The NDP is not going anywhere with nonsense.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-66121266638477255352016-02-08T10:14:27.107-08:002016-02-08T10:14:27.107-08:00Mound your anti-tom bias is showing. read it caref...Mound your anti-tom bias is showing. read it carefully and one will see that even if the tone is a little loud it is definitely not scary to point out the truth. That is despite all the pledges to be transparent the most corporate of corporate ladies in this Cabinet rushed off to NZ to sign this piece of shit.<br /><br />With a majority this legislation will be passed as a three line whip. Despite what Tom says in the HOC it will pass the Cons will guarantee it.<br /><br />So if Tom or any of us who say that the Libs will pass it it is not scary to point it out. Just realistic.<br /><br />BTW how's that NAFTA thingy working out for you?Ben Burdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06372169478978720740noreply@blogger.com
