Here’s a photo of the plane that flew your message over Ottawa this morning:
Yesterday leaders from the US and Mexico met with our government in Ottawa to talk trade. Over the next few days the media will be paying attention to the Trans-Pacific Partnership - a bad trade deal that will kill jobs, increase the cost of medicine, and let corporations sue us for our common sense policies. Corporate lobbyists will be using this moment to pressure our leaders to ratify the TPP, so it's a key one for us to counter their spin.
That’s why we’re so grateful to the hundreds of people from the Leadnow community who chipped in to pay for a plane to fly over Ottawa this morning pulling a massive banner that says “RejectTPP.ca” - a big, bold link to a hard-hitting new website that covers the dangers and costs of this outdated corporate power grab.
Do you know how the TPP will affect you? This new website will help. Click here to check out the new website to see the top reasons for rejecting the TPP, and then use our simple tool to send a message to our government that you want them to Reject the TPP: RejectTPP.ca
The TPP comes from seven years of secretive negotiations that put corporate rights first. Corporate lobbyists will use this moment to push our government to ratify the Trans-Pacific Partnership, but Trudeau’s Liberals have promised to listen to Canadians.
And the more Canadians learn about the TPP, the more they oppose it. Superlegal powers for multinational companies to sue elected governments. Costly new restrictions on medicines. Job losses for key Canadian industries. It's a bad deal that has united opposition across the political spectrum.
But powerful corporate lobbyists will use this moment to pressure our leaders into accepting this bad deal, but by working together to spread this website in the air - and online - we can warn Canadians and stop their plan.
Thank you for everything you’ve done.
With hope and respect,
Brittany on behalf of the Leadnow.ca team
