Reaction to TPP

[TOM4CWB]

Mustardman,

Canada HAS a BI LATERAL free TRADE agreement with NORWAY!!!

And PM Harper negotiated it... in 2009.

"Canada - European Free Trade Association (EFTA)
In force since July 2009.

The free trade agreement (FTA) between Canada and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland is a goods-only agreement with an emphasis on tariff elimination. It establishes a commitment to review the Agreement with a view to considering the scope for possible expansion of the FTA into areas such as services, investment, and intellectual property at a later date.

For more information, please see: additional background information on the Canada-European Free Trade Association Free Trade Agreement.

Ontario prices but western are similar. Assuming fairly typical 4%bf, 3.5%protein, 5%os gives you 72 cents/litre. Then adjust a bit for whole vs 2% vs 1%

Thanks dalek. I had lost touch. We used to custom farm for a dairy that did very well here and I used to know their numbers.

Tom thanks for the info.

I have voted Progressive Conservative,in the past (as well as other parties)but this group is an embarassment to the name conservative.(more like "tea Party North")

If John Diefenbaker were alive he would vote Anything But Conservative

Thanks dalek!

The Diefenbaker government made a free trade offer to United Kingdom, backed off when it might have been accepted. Not so popular in eastern Canada as in west.

By the way; the USA did not conclude the EU free trade agreement, while Canada did.

"A newly forged Pacific Rim trade deal opens the door for Europe to seal its own free trade partnership with the United States but also increases pressure on Brussels to accelerate stalled talks to avoid being left behind.

Twelve countries, including the United States, on Monday reached the most ambitious trade pact in a generation, aiming to liberalize commerce in 40 percent of the world's economy.

The European Union is pursuing its own trade accord with the United States, called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), that would encompass a third of world trade and nearly half of global GDP. Talks to date appear stalled."
