a substantial amount of this - green infrastructure, lower pharmaceuticals, agriculture subsidies, and more - may be in contradiction to the tpp. they're taking the logically correct position in pointing out that they need to read it first before they can make a decision, but everybody expects them to sign on to it. so, what takes priority, here? their campaign promises or the trade agreement?

in some cases, this document provides a good groundwork for why these sorts of trade agreements are a breach of sovereignty, in that it articulates a number of points that could be challenged or reversed by foreign investors.

i've said this about the ndp: give me more specifics. give me clear red lines. if the liberals are going to throw out a platform like this on the eve of the signing of an agreement like the tpp, they kind of need to do this, as well.
