SHD Hello PAOV --

Many of you have already chipped in to bring us 32% of the way to our goal of getting our TPP ads on TV. Today a local chapter of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers has stepped up to match donations made in the next 24 hours -- and we sill have a third ad to debut next week!

You can watch the first two ads here.

Thanks to the generous offer of the workers at the IBEW if you donate $5 today it turns into $10, $25 becomes $50 (and so on and so forth, you know how math works). They’ve pledged enough support to guarantee our people-powered ads will be reaching an audience of over half a million viewers across the country by next week.

With your support we can reach 1 million people with this crucial message.

Nearly half of Canadians say they don’t know enough about the TPP trade deal.1

That means most of the country doesn’t realize that Trudeau’s Liberals are considering passing a new set of rules designed by Harper’s Conservatives - rules that will:

  • Create more economic inequality

  • Cost thousands of Canadian jobs

  • Raise the price of medicine

  • Threaten internet freedoms

Perhaps most shockingly, the TPP will allow corporations and the super wealthy to sue the Canadian government if our laws put public health, safety and economic interests ahead of corporate profits.2

The government has promised to hold more public consultations and a full Parliamentary debate on the TPP before passing it in parliament. This means that educating the public about the true implications of this secret trade deal is a critical task right now.

The TPP is like a vampire - a vile creature that cannot survive in the light of day.

Can you help us drag the truth about the TPP out into the light for people across Canada to see?

In hope and solidarity,
Sean, Emma, Shane and the rest of the SHD Team
