The Fraser Institute: Adopting BC-Alberta Trade Agreement on National Basis Would Provide Costless Economic Stimulus

Faced with a slowing economy, a new Fraser Institute study shows that Canada could boost economic growth by following Alberta and British Columbia's lead and adopting the Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA).

The report, Myths and Realities of TILMA, indicates how the TILMA approach to eliminating interprovincial trade and investment barriers could easily be adapted to include the rest of Canada, and could also be used as a model for trade agreements in other countries.

    Good post. Yes, I know, it is ludicrous to say that a report issued By the Fraser institute is the subject of a good post. Let me change that, bad post!!

    They forgot to mention the part where any company can sue any government for any legislation that causes the souey to have to spend any money that it did not previously have to spend. Said compnay can sue for 5 million dollars a pop! It would end the ability of governments to affect any changes in corporate activities!
    And they highlight the part where worker mobility suddenly does not require equal skill assessments. How long before they are bringing in Chinese labour under the same smoke screen? What a load of crap.

    TILMA equals in your face facism.

    Bad stuff. Leads to all kinds of poverty and civil unrest.

    Milton, you "forgot" to put "forgot" in parenthesis....................The FI would love to see governments imobilized -- except when it comes to handing money over to the corporations. People are fodder, pure and simple!
