Will NAFTA Exterminate Canadian Pesticide Bans?

The ban on pesticides for domestic use will be hotly contested and debated from both sides of the "environmental" fence but I predict the main issue of whether a ?company? can challenge a ?country?s? in this case a legitimate Provincial governments, right to legislate what can and cannot be done / sold in its jurisdiction will be lost in the shuffle. That should be the exclusive right of the citizens of that jurisdiction should it not?

Only of we scrap NAFTA
Otherwise NAFTA gives corporations more power than governments or the people they represent. Harper did say in the last election campaign that he would make the actions of Brian Mulroney his standard for ethics, but still got elected. Mulroney gave us NAFTA, and the Liberals endorsed it..

Well it's possible, look at that additive that was in unleaded fuel for so long (if someone could be so gracious to remind what the hell it was called seeing as how I can't remember). We knew it was bad for us and the environment, there was no reason to have it as a fuel additive but due to our NAFTA commitments we couldn't do anything about it. The company who produced it even took the Canadian government to court over it and won.

*snaps his fingers* Now I remember, it was MMT.
