Friday, April 1, 2011

What is CETA?
What does it mean for the tar sands?
Why should we do something about it?

Environmental Justice Toronto is holding a teach-in about CETA and its impacts on the tar sands and communities.

CETA is the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement -- a free trade deal between Canada and the European Union. This trade deal will allow for water, land, and oil to be exploited. Who bears the brunt of this resource exploitation?

What does this mean for trade justice?
What do we do about it?
