Beware The Northeastern Free Trade Dream Called Atlantica

Atlantica is the label given by proponents to a potential trade zone that would include Canada's four Atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island), Quebec south of the St. Lawrence and all or part of four New England States (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and upstate New York). In the corporate vision this vast area would become one big ‘Business Without Borders’ area, offering all the benefits implied for the corporations world and all of the headaches that might fall to everyone else. The group leading the campaign is the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies (AIMS), headed by Brian Lee Crowley. http://www.nupge.ca/news_2007/n26fe07a.htm [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on March 1, 2007]
