Imposing Extreme Restraints On What Governments Can Do: TILMA
Posted on Tuesday, February 20 at 11:17 by BC Mary
The Trade, Investment, and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA) between Alberta and BC is an unprecedented agreement, imposing extreme constraints on what governments can do.
Ottawa-based lawyer and trade expert Steven Shrybman will discuss his recently published legal analysis of TILMA.
"The likely impacts of TILMA represent a profound assault on the capacity of present and future governments in BC and Alberta to serve the public interest." - Steven Shrybman

The words "Trade agreement" was introduced with the FTA to cover up the treaty aspect, which needs a 2/3 Senate majority in the USA and Reagan didn't expect to get it. It has now been used in every one of these fraudulent deals to give them a phoney legal classification and to mislead the public.
I think, these secret treaties could be attacked in the courts based on these 2 words alone.

Sorry to say Ed, you would be wrong,<br />
which courts do you suppose cases such as these be heard, as there are many such cases?<br />
<br />
What will be achieved in the contrived courts of those who took privilege upon themselves?<br />
<br />
Even a quick study of law and how law came about will tell any who care to investigate that law as we know it is about property morphed into commerce. These cases operate under commercial code(s) Law, Lex Mercatoria, <a href="http://szabo.best.vwh.net/lex.html">http://szabo.best.vwh.net/lex.html</a> laws separate unto themselves.<br />

The “courts” had their birth in Courts of Royalty <br />

Last time I looked that t’weren’t us <br />
Please be clear on this point, reader, the courts are NOT there for your benefit!<br />
Those seeking Justice are looking in the wrong place. <br />
Authority lies/lays with the sovereign people not with Corporate personhood, well, It did before it was hijacked by subterfuge, blessed by Vatican City and largely ignored by the people.<br />

The play on words goes all the way back to how various "Acts" are written up. We're being suckered with double-speak left right and centre and we have to recognize it as deliberate fraud.
