Today, Harper and EU President Jose Manuel Barroso initialled a trade and labour agreement between Canada and the world's most powerful trading bloc. Like I said in my last post, I think open trade with the EU will be overall good for Canada.
But don't you find it odd that there isn't even a draft text available for public consumption? The final agreement may be two years off, but wouldn't it would be useful to know what each side "traded" [pun intended] to get to where we are today?
If the final agreement will be ready in 2015 that will be just in time for the next election. We've fought three elections on free trade -- 1911, 1988, 1993. There are going to be much bigger issues when the next campaign hits but this could be a dark horse that might come to the forefront.
We need to know what we're getting into, now. Just because it's potentially a good thing doesn't mean it has to be a state secret. Release the draft, Steve. Let us read it, and let us decide.

You're dreaming if you thought disclosure would be forthcoming... and the CDN public is also asleep.
Except for the irate farmers and everyone who will discover well after the fact that they've been sold out.
This is the CON playbook - induced somnambulence of the masses. It won't be long now...
