Bingo! Congratulations, I think that's a highly credible scenario of how it will come down. Now we must ask ourselves how many of the faux opposition are also aware of the 'signing-just-a-technicality' scam but have agreed to do the theatre and take the dive at the end.
I think that you and/or Sean should also seriously consider working this up into a short piece for the Rabble frontpage.
With respect to public 'consultations', it should be remembered that Freeland herself has said, 'The negotiations are finished and for Canadians it's important to understand that it's a decision of yes, or no.' So why consult? To complete the illusion floated that 'they haven't made up their minds yet.
Remember too that there have been several revelations from international sources, most notably the Japanese, saying they were assurred Canada was on board with this deal. But domestically we were being given the impression the government hasn't made up its mind. It's a scam that will end with Canada in the bag of this 'corporate could d'etat by stealth', the TPP.

"...Ultimately what has changed is that the story surrounding the TPP that supporters of the government have been trying to build is further falling apart. So, where Canada stands now is that the government has basically admitted its support after months of denial. Signing has become a sure thing and the only thing left is ratification.
For those opposed to the agreement, the situation is starting to look dire. While signing has yet to happen, once the ink dries, it will become extremely difficult for the Canadian government to back out because of obligations found in the agreement. The opposition needs to step up their game.."
