THE NEW WORLD DISORDER Canada joins Transatlantic Union effort Working along with U.S for free-trade deal with European Union Canada has decided to join the United States in negotiating a transatlantic free trade agreement with the European Union.

According to Canada's daily Financial Post, Canada and the EU have come to an agreement on the areas they would like to negotiate in a free trade deal that Canadian government officials believe could expand Canada's economy by approximately $12 billion. The agreement announced last Thursday concluded "scoping exercises" between Canada and the EU that began Oct. 17.

The exercises determined 14 areas to be placed on the negotiating table, including trade in goods and services, investment, trade facilitation, customs regulation, technical barriers to trade, competition policy and sustainable development.

As WND has reported, "competition" is a key free-trade theme that shows up, for instance, in the 30-member North American Competitiveness Council, the 30-member multinational advisory council selected by the chambers of commerce in the U.S., Mexico and Canada to advise the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. Sustainable development" is a code term coined by the United Nations' Agenda 21, which critics have charged outlines a globalist agenda

for redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor, on the premise wealth is accumulated at the expense of the poor.

Transatlantic Union. Sounds so benign and fuzzy.

My impression was that "sustainable development" referred to economic development that was sustainable both from an economic and environmental perspective. A well-diversified economy that can sustain respectable GDP growth in the long term, and an economy that does not pollute, deforest, etc. a country into a ruined ecosystem.

I could be wrong, though - however, I doubt the 'definition' given here is the right one.

Those lovable Tories may be our salvation! Hooray for Canada! Sorry about the heat we gave you in 1776-1783. All a big misunderstanding!
