Yesterday we saw the full text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership released, after too many years of waiting. Much as we suspected, the agreement is full of anti-user copyright and IP policies that would make our Internet more expensive, censored and policed. Canada could even be sued under the TPP if it tried to update its copyright laws to fit the digital age.

Now that the secret is out, we’re calling on newly-elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to reject the deal that harms free expression and costs Canadians money. Speak out at StopTheSecrecy.net/Canada today, and help us send a strong message to our new government: we don’t need to follow through on the previous government’s terrible policies.
