Canada-EU Trade Proposal Rivals Scope Of Nafta

Posted on Friday, September 19 at 08:49 by NAUWATCH

Canadian and European officials say they plan to begin negotiating a massive agreement to integrate Canada's economy with the 27 nations of the European Union, with preliminary talks to be launched at an Oct. 17 summit in Montreal three days after the federal election.

Trade Minister Michael Fortier and his staff have been engaged for the past two months with EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson and the representatives of European governments in an effort to begin what a senior EU official involved in the talks described in an interview yesterday as “deep economic integration negotiations.”

    Utterly disgusting. The EU knows that when the crash comes they'll be up the creek without resources and some still remember the 30s. As I certainly do.

    So, here we have more sale of the country for worthless money.

    When will the misled population come to grips with the sordid fact that foreign investors bring nothing to this, or any other country.

    Foreign investment, as all these "free trade agreements" are blatant fraud, sold by crooks.
