The Council of Canadians Peterborough chapter sponsored a screening of 'This Changes Everything' at the 11th annual ReFrame International Film Festival this past weekend.
The largest association of judges in Germany (Deutscher Richterbund, DRB) has spoken against the establishment of an investment court system (ICS), stating that “neither is there a legal basis nor the necessity” for it.
While the Trudeau government has stated it has not taken a position on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), their responses to the concerns being expressed by people writing to them makes it clear they are defending the controversial deal. That should raise the concern that beyond them signing the deal tomorrow, they also plan to ratify it within the next two years.
In a recent editorial, the Globe and Mail endorsed proposed changes to the Canada-Europe Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), namely to the investment-state dispute settlement provisions that allow foreign corporations to sue governments over regulatory changes that affect their profits.
