  • At the moment, Trudeau is not perceived has a friend. Most of Canadian were quite shock when he walk away. Later yesterday, we heard that Trudeau signed the TPP after some corrections were made by other countries.

    Most Canadian do not want any changes to the agriculture industries. For dairy, meat and eggs, Agriculture Canada has set quotas that cannot be changed. Buying quotas is very expensive, but it is a way to maintain the price of these comodity at a managable level for comsumers. If the signing countries decide to dump their agricultural products, it will definately affect us, the consumers, and will destroy the quota system.

  • I never heard if the secret TPP document was totally released, All I know is that it was written by  corporations and Pharma and that corporations in one country can change laws in another.Basically a NWO dream dream come true.The corp, courts will have supreme power over each court, so it sounds like your liberal acting prime minister may be your friend after all.
