Trade agreements: pros or cons
Free Trade Agreement (FTA), North America Free Trade (NAFTA), Security and Prosperity Patnership (SSP) and Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA) provide little prosperity to ordinary Canadians, but instead gives more rights to multinationals.

See the following information on how Canadians are losing our rights and prosperity.
Like its American predecessor, the newest FTAA between Canada and Europe — called the Canada—European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) — would go beyond NAFTA by guaranteeing corporations strong new rights for their trade in services, their bids on government procurement, and their intellectual property.
