<p>Donald Trump as a candidate for President of the United States took aim at international trade deals like the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) as being bad deals for America that facilitated the contracting out of millions of American manufacturing jobs.</p><p><br></p><p>Now as President, Trump has given the notice required to reopen the agreement and the clock is counting down on formal renegotiation discussions.</p><p><br></p><p>The Council of Canadians has consistently argued that NAFTA and other so-called free trade agreements are more about the expansion of corporate rights at the expense of worker rights and protecting the environment. Maude Barlow, as chair of the Council of Canadians, has been calling on the Trudeau government to go after some major changes to the agreement and not to just play defence.</p><p><br></p><p>Show Notes: https://canoefm.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/PH-Resource-List-for-July-10-2017-Show-with-Maude-Barlow.pdf&lt;/p&gt;
