In mid-August, just before the 1st round of NAFTA talks, the CBC reported on the Trudeau government's demands for NAFTA 2.0.
On Saturday (October 14), the Trump administration put on the negotiating table eliminating Chapter 19 in NAFTA.
The Trump administration has just proposed making the Chapter 11 investor-state dispute settlement mechanism voluntary, eliminating the Chapter 19 panels that examine anti-dumping and countervailing duty cases, and turning the Chapter 20 state-to-state dispute settlement panels into advisory bodies.
There have been a number of key developments midway through the October 11-17 round of NAFTA talks now happening in Arlington, Virginia.
Here is a snapshot of recent and upcoming activism by Council of Canadians chapters across the country.
Yesterday Maude Barlow swept across Nova Scotia, and I had the pleasure of tagging along for the ride.
